I have a fex that generates training ID cards for employees. The card needs to display the employee image, which is sensitive data and is stored on a remote share on the network. A few authorized training coordinators can access this share. The webfocus reports run under a User ID that is local to the WebFocus Server and does not have a network access. What is the best way to access the image folder when an authorized user runs the report?

TIA

If the WebFOCUS Reporting Server runs a local id to the box that is the Reporting Server has security turned off then the reporting server must have access to the images. If the Reporting Server is running with security on and you are setting the IBI_REPORT_USER in the wfs files. Then you can have the user(s) login using a file like /ibi_html/wfsignon.html that creates the cookies for IBI_REPORT_USER overiding the IBI_REPORT_USER in the wfs file. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The reporting server is running with Security ON and I was able to access the folder by setting the IBIC_user and Password.
