We are using WebFocus 5.2.3
Does anyone have any experience with the REFERRER URL ??
Currently, about 90% of our reports are on our company intranet. We want to either display a dummy URL when the user clicks on the report link, hide the URL, or use REFERRER to ensure the request is coming from a secured page. Our goal - we don't want the users copying the URLs or even knowing what they are. Any suggestions ??

This will hide the URL from the status area of the web browser and also suppress right-clicking to view the properties of the link. It will open the report link in a new window that does not have the address bar or menu bar. It will not suppress right-clicking on the newly opened report window, unless you add lines 6 to 13 in the HMTL reports on your intranet site. Also, if you have a tag in your HTML reports, the URL will not be displayed on the newly opened window.<BR><br /><br />I have no experience with REFERRER URL.<br /><br /><pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"><html><br /><head><br /><title>Report List
<script language="JavaScript">

// Trap all Mouse-Down actions
document.onmousedown = SuppressRightClick;

// Suppress Right-Click Mouse-Down Actions
function SuppressRightClick()
{
if (event.button == 2) alert('Please left-click the report link');
}

// Open a new window with the selected report
function OpenReport(ReportLoc)
{
vFeatures =
"channelmode=no, directories=no, fullscreen=no, " +

window.open(ReportLoc,"ReportWindow",vFeatures)
}




onMouseover="window.status='Report 1';return true;"
onMouseout="window.status='';return true;">Report 1

onMouseover="window.status='Report 2';return true;"
onMouseout="window.status='';return true;">Report 2

CHERI,

What platform, app server, wf version etc?

The easy way is to have the request go through an alternate server using AJP. The app server can then be instructed to only respond the the AJP request, thereby forcing the user to always go through the required webserver. In other words, they will never know the actual host name of the app server, just a web server in front of it.

This, however, doesn't imply that the user is always coming from a secured page or web site, as ALL requests originate from the client browser.

Could you give a brief run down of what you are doing, and then what you would like to do, and maybe we could advise.

Hi Kamesh,

I ran a quick search on Information Builders' online documents and came across the following topic which may be of interest:

Can the DrillDown link in PDF be hidden?
http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com/sps/13122078.html

Basically, right now there is no way to hide the drilldown link in PDF document. This is an Adobe convention and not under the control of WebFOCUS.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Big Grin

Kerry
