Prompt for parameters, but save password

I have a report that prompts the user to select a date range for query results. I am using a 3rd party program to view the report. Under Report Options, I have disabled "save data with report" so that it prompts for the dates each time the report is opened. The problem is that is also prompts for the password to the database. Is there a way to set up the report to ask for a date range, but not ask for the password each time? The third party program does not prompt for the password, so when trying to view the report, it just errors out. I am new to CR, so I've only being doing this for a couple of day. Thanks.

Hi Dustin,
You said you are using 3rd party program ? What is this program ? Is it developed using .net or Java ? If this is java based of .net based then you can pass user login information through coding.
Otherwise it is not possible to stop asking user credentials when you refresh crystal reports.
Thanks,
Sastry

Report does not prompt for parameters when SeparatePages=False

Hi all. We are using CR2008 Basic w/SP1 along with VS2008. Within our application, reports pull up fine and prompt for parameters using the CrystalReportViewer against the web service. SeparatePages is set to True. We want to change SeparatePages to False, but when I do that any report that should prompt for parameters is not.
The reports were created in CR 8.5. We have upgraded them to CR2008 (open, refresh, save) which has greatly increased performance. With some further testing, I've discovered that if I take a report that doesn't currently have any parameters and add one via VS2008 report designer, it WILL prompt for the parameter when I run it in our application with SeparatePages=False.
So I'm leaning that the problem has to do with the reports originally being created in 8.5. I've tried modifying an existing report with parameters, deleting parameters and re-adding, but I still can't get these to prompt for parameters with SeparatePages=False.
Again, these same reports prompt for parms and work fine as long as SeparatePages=True. I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this. There are over 400 reports so re-creating them from scratch under CR2008 will be a painful option
If I need to provide any additional information just let me know. Thank you!
Sheila

We are still working to resolve this issue. Testing has shown that for reports that don't return a lot of data, the prompt for parameters will display. But for larger reports, we just see the hour glass and the parameter prompt never displays. It's almost like the reports are trying to return the full dataset without any paramters being passed BEFORE it will prompt for parameters. This would explain why smaller reports will prompt and larger reports never will (?). Not sure that is what is happening. Again, with SeparatePages=True we are immediately given the parameter prompt. With SeparatePages=False we run into the issue of no prompts.
Here's the code behind if it help:
ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument();
try
    String rptFileName = @"App_Data\Reports\" + Request.QueryString.GetValues(0).GetValue(0).ToString();
    log.writeLog("Loading Report: " + rptFileName);
    String rptFile = Server.MapPath(rptFileName);
    report.Load(rptFile);
    report.Refresh();
    ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
    log.writeDebugLog("ServerName : " + rProperties.ODBCSource);
    crConnectionInfo.ServerName = rProperties.ODBCSource;
    log.writeDebugLog("DatabaseName : " + rProperties.ODBCSource);
    crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = rProperties.ODBCSource;
    log.writeDebugLog("UserID : " + rProperties.ODBCUser);
    crConnectionInfo.UserID = rProperties.ODBCUser;
    log.writeDebugLog("Password : " + rProperties.ODBCPassword);
    crConnectionInfo.Password = rProperties.ODBCPassword;
    foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in report.Database.Tables)
        TableLogOnInfo crTableLogOnInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
        crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
        table.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo);
catch (Exception err)
    log.writeLog("Error Loading Report: " + err.ToString());
    this.lblError.Text = err.ToString();
    this.ErrorTable.Visible = true;
    this.ReportTable.Visible = false;
    return;
CrystalReportViewer1.HasCrystalLogo = false;
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report; // _serverFileReport;

ADF security - prompt for user id and password again on page forward

Hi,
I am working with ADF using JDeveloper 10.1.3 with Business Components and ADF Faces.
I have a Search page and a List page.
Both pages are based on the same view within the same application module.
The Search page is using the default Find and Execute Operations.
The Execute button has an action that navigate to the List screen.
faces-config.xml

Security (Roles and Users) is based on the jazn-data.xml and web.xml
URL Patterns for the pages have assigned to the role.

Everything is fine when running the application from JDeveloper,
but when the application is deployed to the server (OC4J),
After logging into the system, the Search page prompt for user id and password again
on click of the Execute button.
Have anyone experience this problem before?
Thanks for any help.
Jim

Hi,
does the same thing happen if you change your protected resource from:
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>APP_SUPPORT</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>faces/jspx/search.jspx</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>faces/jspx/list.jspx</url-pattern>

Report Preview in CMC keeps prompting for parameters ...

Dear Experts, I am trying to see the preview of a report in CMC (CMC -> Folders -> Browse to the report and then click on review). It prompts for parameters and I enter the parameters. The report shows the result but then prompts for the parameters again. I check the same report in Dev and QA and they work. All these systems have same configuration, same version of IE and same settings. I check them all. Kindly point out if I'm missing something. I appreciate any help.

Hi
what exactly do you mean by:
The report shows the result but then prompts for the parameters again
Is your report shown and after X seconds it prompts again for the parameters automatically?

KB2986204 - After installing users being prompted for a username and password

After client machine have installed this update they are now being prompted for a Username and password when launching outlook. Setting up a fresh copy of outlook also prompts.
Is anyone else having this same issue?

For anyone still watching this issue, we're now up to 5 updates that cause this behaviour, we're having to block these on WSUS to prevent our customers being prompted for passwords on domain joined machines using NTLM.
KB2986204
KB2899504
KB2956087
KB2956170
KB2965270
Further progress since my last post in February. We upgraded to CU7 and now CU8 and the problem remains, but we think we have tracked the issue and have a case open with MS. If anyone else is able to test and confirm our findings it would be helpful to know,
below are the key aspects to look for:
- Outlook 2013 has one of the above updates installed.
- The UserPrincipalName ([email protected]) is different to the PrimarySMTPAddress ([email protected]) of the mailbox.
- The computer is domain joined.
- Mapi/HTTP is configured in the Exchange 2013 organisation.
- NTLM/Negotiate is used as the authentication mechanism.
If all of the above aspects are true for your configuration and you are able to re-produce the password prompting try altering the Mailbox PrimarySMTPAddress so that it's the same as the UserPrincipalName.
In our testing the issue went away when the UserPrincipalName and PrimarySMTPAddress matched, not that it gives us a solution as our customers are quite attached to their vanity email addresses, but it does highlight a specific type of behaviour under specific
circumstances.

I have enabled iTunes and App Store fingerprint authentication on the iPhone 5s. However I still receive a prompt for my Apple ID password vs my Fingerprint. Any way to resolve this?

I have enabled iTunes and App Store fingerprint authentication on the iPhone 5s. However I still receive a prompt for my Apple ID password vs my Fingerprint. Any way to resolve this?

Ok thanks - that explains it:
From the Apple article: "
Note: Touch ID cannot be used for purchases if Require Password in Settings > General > Restrictions is set to Immediately."
Not sure why - but clearly intentional.

Crystal reports viewer will not prompt for parameters

Help,
I can not get crystal report viewer to prompt for parameters when called from IIS 8 on Server 2012 r2
I can get crystal report viewer to prompt for parameters when run from vs 2010 built in web service.

Thanks,
The solution for me was to uninstall the latest crystal reports runtime 13.10.x and install 13.6.x instead.
Thanks anyway.

AS/400 db2 database asks signon to AS/400 prompt for USER ID and PASSWORD when BO report is refreshed by client users

Post Author: LalitJoshi
CA Forum: Publishing
I have created a report which is using AS/400 db2 database.Connection is setup in a universe and through Client Access ODBC driver.
Users are trying to connect AS/400 db2 system through ODBC(Client Access ODBC driver) and full client BO 6.5.
It asks for signon to AS/400 prompt for USER ID and PASSWORD when BO report is refreshed by users.
Is there any way i can avoid the USER ID and PASSWORD as it is not feasible to give database USER ID and PASSWORD to each users.

It looks like your JDBC driver is not found. Have you deployed the driver to XI?

Why does screen saver prompt for secure disk image password?

Okay, seems like an odd problem, but here it goes.
I go into System Preferences->Dektop & Screen Saver. As the program "loads" availabe image sources and such I get a pop-up requesting a password to my secure disk image.
Yes, I have a secure disk image in my home directory.
Yes, the secure disk image is currently "locked" (Not mounted in finder).
I click cancel (a few times, probably 2 maybe 3 times) and things continue along fine.
I select a photo source that I want for a screen save and exit peferences.
I then go an start the screen saver (I'm using Hot-Corners).
I get the message "Looking for pictures....." for , well...basically forever...
Sure enough I touch the mouse to leave my screen saver and there is the pop-up again. Asking for me to unlock my secure
disk image.
I thought this might be related to Spotlight. I tried reading several threads and have gone as far as taking my entire hard-drive/volume
and putting it into the "Privacy" tab under spotlight.
Anybody have any idea on what is going on and how I might get it so the "Desktop & Screen Saver" stop prompting me to unlock my
secure disk image? (WITHOUT having to make sure the disk image is unlocked before I sleep my screen or open the screen saver utlity)
As always, I am only speculating that this is Spotlight related so that could be a red-herring....
thanks in advance.
OSX:10.7.3
imac/3.1G/Intel

Update: i made some progress on this issue. I found that in the ~/picture/iPhot Library/Database/ directory
there is a file called Library.apdb. This file has an entry for the secure disk image i have/had. I moved the file
to Libraryapdb.bkup and sure enough, my picture problem went away. The screen aaver panel no longer prompts
me to unlock my secure disk image.
So now the next chapter of my problem;when i open up iPhoto it wants to rebuild my photo library(which makes
sense and is what i want to haopen) so i allow it. After about 25 mins it has rebuilt the iPhoto library, but there is
one problem. The secure diskimage reference is back in the Library.apdb file that has been recreated!
So now i need to figure outnhow to get iPhoto to remove anynreference to a phot library i once had on the secure
disk image but have long since removed.
I first created an iPhoto library on my secure disk image by holding the option key and invoking iPhoto.
I removed that library awhile ago....
So how do i make iPhoto remove a no longer used iPhoto library?

Can Saveas prompt for location, but still use a system generated filename

I have a client that's wanting to save a pdf file of a datawindow.
But, they want the program to prompt them for the location to save the file.
It looks like you can do a saveas and leave the filename blank.
and, it will prompt the user for the path/filename
is there a way, that I can prompt them.... but, put the filename that was generated by
the program, on the filename line
I thought I had done something like this, for import of a file
but, I don't think I've done a saveas
does this make sense?
basically.... I want the user to be able to chose the path
but, not necessarily the filename... maybe just put, the generated one
can this be done on the screen, that's prompted for... in the saveas routine?
i guess I could have them specify both... if I had to

Ask for the destination path with GetFolder() and then add the file name to the value returned by
GetFolder()

WLAN network always prompts for user name and password...

Hi,
Everytime Airport detects the WLAN of my institution, it prompts "Authenticating to network" and I have to put in my user name and password. Is there any way to store this information (probably in the keychain) so that an automatic login to the WLAN [as in my home network] is possible? The problem is that I can not find any button like "save this password in the keychain" [you can only put in user name and password]. Is it possible that my institution prevents automatic login?
I also tried to create an item in the keychain directly - does not work.
Cheers

Hi,
I agree in that there has to be a prompt for WLAN access. Otherwise just everyone could step by and use the access. But if I have to authenticate once, why should the institution prevent an automatic login for me in the future? Well, okay, if someone steals my notebook and knows my master password... hmm, so there is no way to locally (on my notebook) use some software that automatically puts in my user name and password so that I - maybe - only have to push the "Go/Enter/Access" button?
For example, some institutions use browsers to authenticate and 1Password, but also Safari natively, can automatically fill in the information.
Cheers

Stop Crystal from Prompting for Parameters

Hi there,
I am trying to stop Crystal from prompting for a parameter that has the Optional Prompt flag set to True as I want to use the HasNoValue attribute to retrieve all records when there is not a specific value sent to the parameter.
When the parameter is created from a store procedure, I can simply set the value to nothing and handle the resulting NULL in the procedure.
I was expecting that I could do the same for the regular parameters but this returns a "parameter field and parameter field current values are not compatible" error.
I have tried setting the HasCurrentValue to True but this is a read only attribute.
I have also tried setting the Viewer.ReuseParameterValuesOnRefresh to False (and True) but the report still prompts for the parameter.
I have searched the web for the last two days and have had no joy on this so any help or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanking you in advance

Hi Don,
I am using Crystal 2008 for both the report and the assemblies.
Using the word All is not really an option as I need to process all types of parameters i.e. Boolean, integers and dates as well as strings.
I could create some complex formulas to handle this but I need the report creation to be simple as possible as possible so that the customer can create reports at will.
Using the Optional Prompt feature now available in 2008 I can create a simple record selection formula that looks like something like this :-
(not HasValue({?MyParameter}) OR {Table1.Field1} = {?MyParameter})
My problem is getting the parameter to register through my code that it has been set to HasValue = False so that the user is not prompted by the viewer to enter the parameter again.

Hi Sharath,
I have the user id in backend system , it is not locked nor expired.
When I checked the certificate through STRUSTSSO2 validity is showing till 2027.
How I can make sure that there is not an issie with certificates???
Do we need to check something at protal side also?
What all are the steps required for the checking the certificates at backend & portal side.
There is no RFC defined from backend system to portal system in SM59 , I suppose we are using Bapi's for the same.
Do we need to perform some check in Visual Admin also like checking the JCO connections???

Family sharing - kids get prompt for their iTunes account password for each purchase they make

so I have Family Sharing setup for my wife and kids.
My kids all have their own iCloud setup and the App/iTunes store is also logged in as themselves. (They don't have any CC info entered.)
My problem here is that when my 5 year old wants to download/purchase anything she gets a prompt for her AppleID password.. why is that when I'm the one who has to approve all purchases/download before anyways? This system doesn't seem to be "that" kid friendly when they have to enter a complex password every time they want to download/purchase anything.
Am I missing something? Is there a setting somewhere to disable or save password prompts for the App/iTunes store?

Have a look here...

Refresh_report prompts for parameters

Following some installation problems from our installer using the .msm files to create crystal runtime info, we have switched to using the downloadable redistributable to install Crystal 2008 runtime files (SP3 & 4)
When we do this, when our code issues a refresh_report(), the report prompts for the parameters again with the original values missing.
We can see the parameters in the viewer (on the left) until we issue the refresh_report, and we have checked that the setting ReuseParameterValuesOnRefresh (or similar) is set to True.
Clients running the same version of our application change behaviour if we uninstall the .msm based version and install the downloadable redistributable.
Any suggestions (the msm based version was point blank refusing to install on certain clients (64bit W 7, but not all of them)?
Iain

We are using Visual Studio 2008 to write a C# wrapper to then interface with our actual application as a COM dll.
However, this code is working on a client where the runtime was installed using an installer which used the Crystal 2008 msm files, and isn't working where the client is installed using the re-distributable downloadable .msi files.
We can leave our app in place, and uninstall one version of the crystal runtimes, and then install the re-dist provided by SAP and the problem manifests. Re-installing the original runtime files from the msms 'fixes' this problem, but we then cannot get this to install at all on certain clients.
