Logon Prompt

Hi
I'm having trouble with my crystal report document prompting for a username and password when using a access database connection as the datasourse, the problem is that i don't have a username a password required for the access database so i have nothing to provide to crystal to access the report.
Any suggestions welcome

Hi,
I guess this issue is occuring in CMC or Info View? if I am right then can you check the Database Configuration of the Crystal Report by login to CMC and check if at the bottom of database configuration, the option "use same database logon when the report is run" is checked or not? Otherwise whenever the report is run, it would ask you for the login credentials.
Let me know in case of any queries.
Regards,
Kuldeep G

How to configure Live Office Data with no Logon Prompt

Hi,
I am using Xcelsius with Live Office. Everything appears fine except that when I attempt to preview the dashboard using the Xclesius preview button I am being prompted with a logon screen. For my clients this will not be an acceptable solution and I need to find a way to create this dashboard without having a logon prompt appear.
I have done some research and it appears that using Flash Vars with a CelogonToken variable is the way to go. This is fine except that this solution requires that I either use the Variable to open a child swf or I have to embed the report in a .Net application and pass the value for the Flash Var using some c# or VB.net coding.
Ideally, I am looking for a way to pre set this password so that users can go straight to Infoview and view the dashboard.
I guess what I am really after is functionality similar to using a Web Service Connector which enalbes developers to fill in the password value as a part of the object and be done with it.
Does any one have any idea as to how this can be accomplished?
Thanks,
Ty

I want to set up a 'Guest' accountFine, but I recommend you use a different name, e.g. "visitor", not "guest".
If, under "Parental Controls" you select "Finder & System", then click "Configure", you can select "This user can only use these applications:" which gives you all the control you need. However, you may also need to check "Allow supporting programs" for some choices.

Remote Desktop Gateway and WebAccess Deployment - Multiple Logon Prompts

I'm having a few issues with some multiple logon prompts using "Connect to a remote PC" via RD Web Access.
I am able to log onto the RDWeb without a problem.
Essentially once I make a connection to my end-device I first receive a logon prompt, I'm authenticated, then I'm asked again for another logon prompt. Any ideas how to resolve this?
My layout is simple:
1 VM in the DMZ that has the Remote Desktop Gateway and Remote Desktop Web Access roles installed. No connection broker, or session host.
With my deployment I have a wildcard certificate bound to the Remote Desktop Gateway and it is bound properly in IIS. Remote Desktop functionality through the RDGateway works just fine. However, the only nuisance is that I get prompted multiple times for
credentials when accessing the end-device regardless if my connection is from a domain-joined machine or a non-domain joined machine.
I've tried using Web Single Sign On via http://anandthearchitect.com/2014/01/20/rds-2012-r2single-sign-on-using-windows-authentication-for-rdweb-page/ and it still does not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,
How many prompts are you seeing? Expected behavior for Connect to a remote PC would be this:
1. Log on to RDWeb
2. Select Connect to a remote PC tab
3. Enter server name in Connect to box, click Connect
4. Unknown publisher warning, click Connect
5. Credentials prompt, it should say These credentials will be used to connect to the following computers: 1. rdgw.domain.com (RD Gateway server) 2. remote.domain.com (remote computer)
6. After entering credentials and clicking OK it should log you in to the remote computer. This assumes that the destination is authenticated properly (usually via certificate) and the credentials are valid for both the RDG and the remote
computer. Normally in a domain environment the same credentials (domain\username) would be valid for the RDG and the remote server.

Getting Database Logon Prompt when trying to run report from Infoview

I have a user who has 2 Crystal reports loaded in InfoView. The reports are similar except for the parameters. When scheduling one of the reports, she is being prompted with the database logon information everytime she tries to enter the parameters. But on the other, she isn't. All she is prompted with is the parameters of the report. Which setting in InfoView or CMC controls the database logon prompt? We are on BOE 11.5.
Thanks,
Maureen

Dynamic Parameters. You'll want to get all your report designers up on this topic.
When you create a dynamic parameter in a Crystal Report, and then publish it to the Enterprise, you are creating a Business View, with all it's underlying necessary layers. Dynamic Parameters exist to be able to use the same LOV (a list of current customers) from a database for more than one report. These dynamic parameter LOVs act like a mini report that runs against the database and gets the current values for selection, then the selection(s) are used to run the overall report.
So I create a report, and in it I create a dynamic Customer LOV. When I save it, the Enterprise creates a Data Connection (DC), Data Foundation (DF), Business Element (BE), Business View (BV), and the list of values is built on the Prompt Group. So, my Business View Manager, Repository Explorer will show (in the default Dynamic Cascading Prompts folder):
Customer_DC
Customer_DF
Customer_BE
Customer_BV
Customer - Prompt Group
Customer (the LOV)
The idea is that next time I create a report and need a customer parameter, I select the existing dynamic group. If the report designer is unaware of this, and next time they create a new report that needs a customer LOV, they creates a new dynamic LOV "Customer", when saved to the Enterprise, it repeats the above. Since repository objects must have unique names, you will now have additional items something like:
Customer 2_DC
Customer 2_DF
Customer 2_BE
Customer 2_BV
Customer 2 - Prompt Group
Customer 2 (the LOV)
So you can see how that folder will get filled with duplicates pretty quickly. Which ones were created and used in which reports? Have to open the report in Crystal Reports, open the parameter for Edit and verify the LOV name (_2, _3, _4, etc). If you do in fact discover there are dupes, you can change it to a single one for all reports using a dynamic LOV, re-save them to the Enterprise, then delete the dupes in the BVM.
You've already discovered how to use the BVM to update the data connection to include/save the database credentials. The only other common issue is sometimes the LOV rights need to be changed in order to allow users to "Edit" the LOV (select different values in the LOV). You'd have to run the report as an end user, not the admin account or the report designer account to verify that works.
Another item of note is that these dynamic LOVs are run by the Report Application Server (RAS), regardless of which viewer you are using.
The Business View Manager administration guide has more information on the subject.

RSOP: Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration

Hi,
I am trying to implement a GPO so that users are prompted to change their password 5 days before it expires. I have done this via -
Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Enabled
Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration
Despite doing the above the GPO does not seem to be taking effect. I have run RSOP on my machine and a few users machines and can see that there is a red circle with an X next to
Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration.
Below is my winlogon.log file but I am not really sure what I am supposed to be looking for. Can anyone help?

******UPDATE******
I think I have managed to get this working. I changed the source of the policy to a different GPO. I then did the following -
From a command prompt run gpupdate (without the force parameter)
Ran rsop.msc and checked the policy and this time there was no red circle with an X
Have done the same on a few users machines and it appears to apply successfully. I say this because when you go into the properties for the policy you see the following -
The policy XYZ was correctly applied
Just have to wait and see if it actually does what it says on the can.

Database Logon prompting is in invalid state

Hi
I have written code in Visual Studio .NET 2010 and downloaded the CrystalDecisions Client components on my local. Our System is working fine with existing Classic ASP code and we are in a plan to upgrade from 2003 to 2008 Server R2. So, thought of to re-write the code from Class Asp to Asp.NET and I am successful in converting the code and was able to execute properly until last friday i.e., 30th May, 2014. But all of a sudden since June 2nd do not know what happened but all the reports are not working as expected and the Crystal viewer is opened up and a dialog opens up as enter the login credentials. Our Login information is giving a userid and password of the DSN created. So, after giving that, the report throws an error saying
"Database Logon prompting is in Invalid state".
All the reports are in Enterprise Session loaded on a different server.
I do not see neither code change in the last 4 days nor there is a change in the Enterprise Console environment. So, I do not know the root cause of the issue. I did googled it but no one had this kind of issue earlier.
PLEASE HELP! ITS VERY URGENT.!!!!
THANKS

Couple of admin things out of the way 1st:
1) If this is an urgent issue, please consider creating a phone incident here:

SCN is a community forum and you may get an answer, or not. It may be timely, or not...
2) Generally, bold facing, use of colors, etc., is frowned upon - in any forum (I edited your OP). For more details, please see the SCN Rules of Engagement
Now, to your issue:
Some good info provided, but the most critical part is missing;
Version of CR / BI / BO?
What database?
How are you connecting to the database.
You saying that the reports are in Enterprise Session, makes me think that you may be using BI / BO, but that is just a guess... However if you do have BI / BO, yo should be able to log a support incident via the SAP Service Market Place (SMP) (?).

OpenScript LT recording vs WinXp logon prompt

Hi Experts!
I should do a recording with OpenScript but on the web page I have to authenticate the user on an Windows logon prompt! The OpenScript does not record this authentication and the replay fail.
Could you help me to solve this problem?
Thanks
Attila

Hi
You need to add the authentication manually, in OpenScript right click on initialize:
Add -> HTTP - > Authentication then enter the url, username and password.

Lion boot hangs at point logon prompt should appear

Lion boot hangs at point logon prompt should appear. Unresponsive to mouse or keyboard. Mac mini 2007. Touching power button briefly puts machine to sleep. Hitting key or wiggling mouse then wakes machine and logon proceeds normally. Has happened every time Lion has booted. Never had problems with SL. Fix needed!
TIA,
--Beman

Same issue here, not always but after entering logon password it will hang with the spinning icon. I have to power off then reboot.
Only since Lion upgrade!

Infoviewer - Database Logon prompt

Hi,
When trying to view a report via infoviewer, we get the database logon prompt for database user name / password.
Is there a option this can be automated?
Thanks

Hi,
Kindly implement the following steps:
1. Login to CMC with an administrator account.
2. Navigate to Folders >> Report
3. Right click on your report and select Database Configuration.
4. Enter the correct database credentials.
5. By default "Prompt the user for database logon is selected" is selected. You need to select "Use same database logon as when report is run" option and update the page.
6. Test the issue again now.

Enable Database Logon Prompt problem

Post Author: saied
CA Forum: .NET
I have a report in which I pass the connection information to a connectionInfo object like
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();connectionInfo.UserID = "user";connectionInfo.Password = "password";connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "database";connectionInfo.ServerName = "server"; In the CrystalReportViewer smart tasks, I disable Database Logon Prompting, but when I do this, the Page Unload event is fired and the ReportDocument is set to null; therefore, throwing an object not set to an instance exception. I want to be able to bypass the Crystal Database Logon Prompt, but I can't figure out how to do it. If anyone knows what to do, please help. Thanks, SaiedH

I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 Edition and Crystal Reports 2008. This is one and only report so far. I am passing logon credentials from code. This report was working in crystal report but not working any more is either place crystal designer or .net.
I have to create subreport because i have one parent table and 2 diff child tables. one header table and 2 detail line tables. I was to see in report for each header tables multiple detail line items. If i join 3 tables then it multiplies no of line items and display wrong data. e.g. one BLheader (parent) table has 2 detail line items (1st child table) and 3 detailAccessories (2nd child table). I want to see 1 header, 2 detail lines, and 3 Accessories.
Please advice how should i display this in report. Thanks a lot.

DTR Logon Prompt Circle

Using NWDS 7.0.11 - I have an existing Web Dynpro project. Everything is checked in. The users have deteremined that another mod is needed. When I try to check out the code in the Web Dynpro Perspective I am prompted with the DTR logon Prompt. I entered my password (user id was already there). It shows infrastructure initialzation and other items so I'm assuming the logon is successful. But it is not... My code is still not checked out (though the Logn link in shows as connected). So I try again - attempt to modify Java code - prompt for DTR logon - enter password - messages go by - code still not checked out. I've repeated this circle many times. It's like it is not getting my logon.
I have verified that my password is accurate by logging directly into the SLD server and had no problems.
Any ideas on what I should try next?

we faced the same issue today, a colleague of mine had the problem due to his .dtc /.dtr path
it was located in his user.home directory, alas he has a german name with an ä in it so that caused the problem.
thanks to all the hours of trial and error go to SAP

Logon prompt is coming

Hi,
In portal I need to access quality server. For a certain iView when I clicked it in Q server, another logon prompt is coming showing that it referring to Production backend.
I this case it should not asked for another login i.e. the iview must get displayed without further login.
Please help me with the solution, it's urgent.
Regards
Laboni

Hi,
There should a system object that is responsible for backend connection. So you should change the connection settings in your system object.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/0d/17df3d2cae445ae10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
You can find the system alias assigned to your IView by checking the Iview properties. So once you find the system alias from IView, edit the system object and correct the path.

Can't see network computers that are sitting at their logon prompt

I have an Airport wireless network in my home. My two computers (one Imac, one Macbook) connect to the internet through the Airport connection.
From my Macbook, I can ping the Airport at 10.0.1.1 and get a response. I can ping the Macbook itself (10.0.1.3) and get a good response, too. But when I try to ping the Desktop Imac at 10.0.1.2, I get nothing but "host is down" messages, even though the desktop is booted up and sitting at its logon prompt. If I go to the Desktop and log on, and then come back to the Macbook and ping the desktop again, everything is fine.
Is this the way things are supposed to work -- i.e. a computer system is not available on the network unless someone's logged into it? This seems strange.

In case anyone cares, I found the solution myself.
Under Network in System Preferences, Show->Airport. Then, click "Options".
One of the options says to "Disconnect from wireless networks when I log out". This option was checked on the Desktop but not the Laptop. Don't know why.
Anyway, when I unchecked it, I was now able to connect to the Desktop, even when it was at its logon prompt.
Now, if I could just get the dumb things to wake up across the network ... but I understand this is not doable when the computers are connected wirelessly. Something about the wireless standard not supporting it.

SAP EP calling ASP screen - asking multiple logon prompt from internet

Hi,
We have EP page which calls multiple ASP page from the IIS server. When the users are in internet the system prompt for multiple prompt from the IIS server.
1. May i know to make it as a single logon
2. is it possible to do SSO between IIS and EP 7.3
Thanks

Hi,
you can use the SSO22KerbMap ISAPI Filter to accomplish you requirement. Please refer to
Using SAP Logon Tickets for Single Sign on to Microsoft based web applications
and
Single Sign-On of Windows-based Web Service Clients using SAP Logon Tickets
for more details.
Alterantively you can try with SAML (see Single Sign-On with SAML 2.0 - Security and Identity Management - SCN Wiki for more details), but then you should implement SAML Service provider on the IIS/ASP side, since unless I'm mistaken the IIS not provide it by default. Maby this link can be helpful for your: An Open Source ASP.NET SAML2 Service Provider | Passion for Coding

Automatically refresh Xcelsius SWF without logon prompt from Crystal2008Srv

I'm demoing Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise using Live Office. I have a live office Excel sheet with data and created a new Xcelsius project with a simple pie chart of the data. I created a new refresh button in the project and connected it to my data via the Live Office data connection. I then posted the resulting swf file to our Sharepoint 2007 server as a web part. Now however the swf dashboard prompts me for a user ID and logon to see the dashboard every time. How can I implement this dashboard so that the user sees it without needing to enter a logon. See attached photo for example of what the dashboard is doing on refresh.
Thanksm
