Run Crystal Report from URL includes username and password

Hello,
I've downloaded CR 2008, and CR Server 2008 demo's.
I'm trying to use a feature I've used with CR10 enterprise, and XI report server, where I can run a report direct from the URL.
Something like:
HTTP://scada-ho/crystal/enterprise/admin/en/viewrpt.cwr?id=381&init=actx&apsuser=administrator&apspassword=&apsauthtype=secenterprise
or
http://192.168.72.98/businessobjects/enterprise115/infoview/main.aspx?id=1024&init=actx&apssystem=hobprim&apsuser=visy&apspassword=Fillers3&apsauthtype=secenterprise
I've noticed that there were subtle syntax differences between CR10 Enterprise and XI report server in the past, and expect that similar differences exist with CR server 2008.
Could someone show me the syntax for CR Server 2008 to run a report from a URL, and pass the required username and password, without having to go through the infoview logon screen

Tim,
Thanks for the reply. I admit I did see that thread when I was looking for a solution.
My hesitance is that for a non programmer it looks very difficult, and a lot of settings.
I liked the URL reporting because of its simplicity - one line.
I know that it advertises the username and password, but for our requirement (intranet reporting, LAN separated from IT), its not a big risk.
My further investigations indicate that for CRS 2008 something like the following should work:
http://192.168.207.156/CrystalReports/view.aspx?id=1102&apsuser=administrator&apspassword=admin1&apsauthtype=secEnterprise&init=java
However I get
404 - File or Directory not found.
I'm running on Windows7 with IIS7, so I think it must be an IIS configuration issue
Any Ideas?

Error while running Crystal Reports from application

Hi,
I am getting the below error when I try to run Crystal Reports from my application.
There are no Page Servers connected to the Cache Server or all connected Page Servers are disabled or all connected Page Servers are not part of the specified server group. Please try to reconnect later.
I am able to preview the reports in CMC and Infoview, but when I try to run the same report via my application the above error pops up.
Sometimes I get a different error:
The Page Server you are trying to connect to is not accessible. Please contact your system administrator.
Looks like some configuration settings are missing/ corrupted.
I tried to look in a number of websites... tried few workarounds, but none seems to be working.
Any help is highly appreciated.

I have a request from a customer to run a script to create multiple Usernames and Passwords on ACS5.3 appliance.

I have a request from a cutomer to run a script to create multiple username and password on ACS5.3 Appliance. Does anyone has any suggestion on how to go about this?

Have you tried using the import option on the ACS? You can put all your accounts in a csv file and upload it into the ASA.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.3/user/guide/users_id_stores.html#wp1132152
If that doesnt work you can use the REST Web Services in ACS also:

Using url with username and password in URL class

Hi,
I'm writting an applet in which I use getAppletContext().showDocument with an URL.
The problem is that I'm using URLs with username and password (http://user:[email protected]/page) and it isn't working because the browser is getting the URL http://user/page.
Is this a bug in the URL class? Or in the showDocument method?
Is there any way to make this work?
Thanks for any help,
Pedro Prospero Luis ([email protected])

I'm not sure whether this is supported behaviour. I've had this syntax fail to work in the Netscape address bar so I can't recommend it as an approach for authentication.
If you want to authenticate the user before redirecting to the page, though, you could try creating a connection to another page on the same server and sending the authorization information then. Your browser may then be successfully authenticated.
See http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/jw-javatip47.html for information on this.
You might not need to read back the page from the server, just connect to it. Might work.

Dave,
No worries, this link will help you with your issues. You do have a revel account with that email, so resetting your password should be all you need to do. Just click on the "I forgot my password" link on the web page listed below:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/account-password-sign-faq.html
Once you reset your password, you should be able to login to revel at adoberevel.com on a browser or from one of our apps on mac, ios, win8, or android.

SOAP URL without username and password

Hello Everyone,
its a synchronous SOAP - PI -ECC scenario .
I have created HTTP URL through sender agreement in integration for testing.
However, customer now wants HTTPS URL without Username and password in production URL. How do i create this .

Hello,
However, customer now wants HTTPS URL without Username and password in production URL. How do i create this .
You can disable basic authentication for the sender SOAP Adapter by following William's reply in this thread
http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=236507
However, the authentication will be disabled for all SOAP Sender, so you should weigh-in the impacts of granting that request.
Hope this helps,

How to login owa using URL embedding username and password?

Hi, guys
Whether can users login O365 owa using url embedding username and password? Such as https://mail.mycompany.com/owa/....username=myalias...pwd=password... ?
I found a post http://blog.leederbyshire.com/2012/10/12/how-to-login-to-owa-2010-by-passing-credentials-in-the-url-querystring/
But it doesn't work.
Thanks.

Hi,
I don't think we can login Office 365 OWA using url embedding username and password.
The post you found may be a way to login OWA 2010. As mentioned in the post you provided, we need to use code to support with the URL
https://yourserver.yourdomain.com/owa/?un=yourusername&pw=yourpassword#sthash.cuiZTz5Y.dpuf, not just a simple
URL.
There is a location in the blog you mentioned:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\Owa\auth\logon.aspx
It's a location on a computer which installed Exchange server. As stated in the blog, we need to insert the code into the logon.aspx
file and then login OWA with the URL.
However, for Office 365 OWA which uses a cloud based server, we can do nothing to change the logon.aspx file for Office 365 OWA. That's why I don't think we can do the trick.

When deleting running crystal report from BOE CMC, it leaves Oracle thread?

hi, Yesterday, we discovered an anomaly. From BOE's CMC, I deleted a running Crystal Report instance. I believed that this would "cancel" the running report. However, later, it produced a message. It apparently kept on running in Oracle until it finished.
My question: when I delete a job from BOE's CMC, what else must we do to cancel it from continuing in Oracle? Apparently, it continued to be a "thread" in Oracle.
What additional steps should I take or are there any setup steps? Thank you.
Our BOE version (copied from the CMC about screen) is: Product: 12.1.0 © 2008 Business Objects (or Product Version: 12.2.0.290).
Thank you,
Dean

I'd just been trying instructions in SAP note: 1407795 when this reply came through.... I can confirm this worked for me.
The error codes I found in the Windows Event viewer, both yesterday and today are listen below:
RCIRAS0240
RCIRAS0622
RCIRAS0567
RCIRAS0244
The issues that are described in this post and the ones I have seen first-hand when the screen hangs when viewing this report on-demand, or the report running for a longer than expected time when scheduled, are covered by the above error codes.
A known cause of the issues you are experiencing is that when these particular reports were created, a network printer was specified as the default printer, this printer may now either be unavailable, IP address may have changed, etc.
There do seem to be two options available:
Option 1 - Remove the printer driver dependency
Open this report in the Crystal Reports Designer.
Under the File menu, click on Page Setup.
Select the No Printer option.
Option 2 - Add or correct the printer that the report is designed with
Open the Report in the Crystal Reports Designer
Under the File menu, click on Page Setup
Make not of the printer that is listed in the Page Setup dialog
Log on to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Server that houses the Crystal Reports Processing Servers.
Make sure you log in as the user account that runs the Crystal Reports services. This is generally the account that runs the Service Intelligence Agent (SIA)
Go to Control Panel and click on Printers
Ensure that the same printer is configured on the server that is used in the Crystal Report
In the printer already exists, try removing it and re-adding it.

Run Crystal Report From Forms

Dear all,
Can i run a crystal report from forms10g ? if i yes then how can i do it
Thanks in advance

I have to be honest I don't know much about crystal reports.
In addition to the suggestion of Francois, if you can access/run it via a URL you could use the web.show_document procedure with the url containing all your required parameters, which is similar to some of the method available to run oracle reports.
eg. web.show_document(http://ServerNameDetails?parameter1=1&parameter2=hello,'_blank');

PI as Webservice provider - URL with username and password

Dear Experts,
I need to test my webservice in PI from a SOAP client like XMLSpy or SOAPUI.
I tested the URL from the browser. It prompted for the username and password and worked.
How do I pass the username and password in the URL when I call this from the SOAP clients?
I tried the following format:
http://<server:5xxxx>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:<bs>:<soap sender channel>&sap-user=<username>&sap-password=<password>
I still got a 401 Unauthorized response back.
Any ideal please?

Hi
1) testing through XML Spy
In your WSDL file provide URL in -
<soap:address location="http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=party:service:channel" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"/>
While sending request to server,it will ask XI/PI user id and password itself. The user id must have authorization to invoke web service.Better take SAP_ALL or PIAPPLUSER authorization in this id.
2) You can pass user id and password also in this URL
http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=party:service:channel>&sap-user=<username>&sap-password=<password>
Try both the options.
Best Regards

Connection to Enterpise RAS Server to run Crystal Reports from Externaltool

Hi,
I am new to SDK, we have this situation
We are using Enterprise BO XI 3.1 SP2, and we use a Java based tool by an external vendor
that has Crystal reports and the vendor suggested to we use Crystal report embedded Report
Application server to run those reports.
The reports run successfully when we use Crystal report embedded Report Application server
and we are having difficulties with establishing connection to the RAS Server that comes
with the BO 3.1 Installation.
My questions are:
1) Is there a difference between connecting to stand alone RAS server and the Enterprise
server as the vendor insisted on by saying that their code looks for the RAS service name, but with
the enterprise version under the services there is only one service name CMC
2) what are the steps we need to take to establish the connection with enterprise RAS server
3) currently we are using RAS server has version 12.2.7.598 , Vendor Certified is 12.1.0.882
for the standalone server. Does the version cause any issues
Our direction is to go with the Enterprise BO XI 3.1 SP2 RAS server. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated
Thanks

First thing to check is to determine that the RAS server command-line has specified the -ipport <port number> and that the Java code is calling the RAS server on that port.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Crystal Reports asking for Dbase username and id

When I try to select a dBase file as my data source location in Crystal Reports, CR wants a user name and log in id for the dBase file...I do not have a user name or log in id for my dBase file...
How can I get past this?
Mitch

I don't believe this is a DB2 z/OS question, perhaps it would be better to ask in another SDN forum?

Crystal Report always requires sa logon and password

I have created a simple crystal report, with two parameters (date range) and added it to the main menu using the Report and Layout Manager, in 8.8 PL19 HF. The first time I run the report, after each logon, I am prompted for the sa password. How can I avoid this? Not only do I not want to give all of my users the sa password, but I don't want them to have to deal with the hassle of entering it. The report works fine otherwise.
I saw some notes similar to this, but never really saw an actual fix provided.
Thanks for any help

Hi,
1. Are you using the SAP connection? If you have, but problem persist, try the following steps.
2. If you are using ODBC connection, then try OLEDB connection.
3. If you have created the report on your laptop (eg: ABC) with connection to (eg:ABC) and then you import the report to SAP server (eg: named SAP), then open the report in Crystal and reset location to SAP.

Can you set username and password when using OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL?

If you have a PSP that runs under a DAD that includes username and password and therefore doesn't require users to log in and you want it to do OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL to another PSP that runs under another DAD that normally requires login using basic database authentication and the first PSP already "knows" the user's username and password, is there any way to use them to skip the login dialog of the second page? Maybe hack into the request and use UTL_HTTP.SET_AUTHENTICATION somehow...?

That doesn't seem to work, and trying that kind of url directly from the browser says "invalid syntax error", so maybe Oracle appserver just doesn't let you do that.
I got the idea of trying to add an authorization header:
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER(BCLOSE_HEADER => FALSE);
HTP.P( 'Authorization: Basic mybase64encodedcredentials' );
OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL('myurl', FALSE);
OWA_UTIL.HTTP_HEADER_CLOSE;
...but it didn't work either and with a little further thought I guess it's obvious why: any code here modifies the response header for this request, not the request header for the redirect.
