Hello,

I am using:
-"SQLS2005 External Directory" to authenticate.
-"SQLS2005 External Directory" for authorization.
I am trying to add MR Users via SQL to the Repository Tables.

Every time I attempt to add USERS via SQL in the "WF_MRUSERS" table, Webfocus crashes; I am no longer able access my Dashboards. The rows exist in SQL, but Webfocus refuses to recognize them. I've had to Drop and re-Create the tables via the "realmutil.bat" every time.

What am I doing wrong? Could I have assistance on the proper way to accomplish this?

I am assuming you are also adding a record per group in the groups table (WF_MRGROUPS) too right?

In my experiance with this all, you also need to clear the cache in the Admin Console for it to "refresh" MRE to pick up the new users, but I wouldn't make a habit of clearing the cache during peak hours as it bumps users who are already logged into BID and provides them an error message.

Yes, The group already exists. I just cleared the cache, yet see no changes as of now.
These are the sql 2 scripts I am running:
1)
 INSERT INTO WF_MRUSERS 
Select Username, Password, Username, Firstname + ' ' + Lastname,'','User','', CASE WHEN [ActiveInd] = 1 then 'Y'else 'N' end
From MYTABLE

2)
 INSERT INTO WF_USRGRPTB   
Select Username, 'default', 'N'
From MYTABLE

We just stumbled upon that the username and the loginname have to be the same case in the wf_mrusers, can you confirm that?

Also, can you log into the MRE applet and do you see the domains a user belongs to?

Thank you Matt.
I can confirm that the "LOGINAME" is the same as the "USERID" in the WF_MRUSERS table.
I can login into Manage Reporting Administration, but when I do so, I can only only view the ROLES and the DOMAINS.
The down side is that:
-I am unable to view the GROUPS. I get a "Retrieving Group form..." message that leads to a browser "Page can not be displayed" error.
-I am unable to view the USERS. I get a "Retrieving Users..." message that leads to a browser "Page can not be displayed" error.

Also, on the BI Dashboard login page, the only logins that fail are the USERS that were added with the SQL above. The USERS that were initially added via the GUI still work.
