Hi all,

I have an application that uses Active Directory for authentication. The application invokes some HTML pages that are created by using WebFocus HTML painter. That HTML pages invokes some WebFocus reports.

The problem is that when the HTML pages invokes the report, WebFocus requires an user authentication. Since the user has been already authenticated by the application I want to skip the WebFocus authentication.

Is it possible to do that?

Thanks in advance.

Then you need to either turn security off in your reporting server, have a default id set up in the WF client, or pass the IBIC_user and IBIC_pass variables with the AD credentials.

Thanks GinnyJakes.

I do not want to disable the security of the server.

How can I pass that IBIC_user and IBIC_pass variables and where I should set them(in the application \ in the HTML files created by the HTML layout painter)

You can pass them on the URL that calls the page. You might want to download the WebFOCUS security manual. It should be able to answer your question.

All day I am reading this document and i am getting confused.... If it is possible to describe a little more about this ibic_ variables.

In the HTML source of the pages I saw that there is a tag where there are some ibic_ variables. I have tried to put the ibic_user and ibic_pass variables in this tab but WebFocus still requires some authentication.
