Hi folks,

Could you pls tell me any solution for creating the logon token without hardcoding the username and password ?

Note : My Infoview uses SSO. From there i want to create the log on token.
Please help me out.

Thanks a lot

This C# ASP.NET code, run in IIS with Windows Auth & Inpersonation turned on:

using CrystalDecisions.Enterprise;

     //Enterprise Session Manager Variables
     EnterpriseSession mySession;
     SessionMgr mySessionMgr = new SessionMgr();
     String myToken ="";

    //Enterprise Credential Variables
     String apsUser = ""; 
     String apsPassword  = ""; 
     String cmsName = "<CMS>"; 
     String apsAuthType = "secWinAD";


     mySession = mySessionMgr.Logon(apsUser, apsPassword, cmsName, apsAuthType);
     myToken = mySession.LogonTokenMgr.CreateLogonTokenEx("", 120, 100);

What do you do with the token once you have it? How do I pass it to InfoViewApp so that the gets logged?

R2
http://SERVER:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/InfoView/logon/logon.do?token=

R3
http://SERVER:8080/InfoViewApp/logon/start.do?ivsLogonToken=

However, when I try the R3 version, I get kicked out to a URL that doesn’t exist:
http://SERVER:8080/PlatformServices/PlatformServices/service/app/logon.do

Does this work for IIS or only TomCat?

I’ve only used it to provide SSO into Java InfoView. Not sure what the .NET path would be, but I’m sure it would be similar, but with a file extension .aspx instead of .do.

Hmm…I’m still getting the same error: Account Information Not Recognized: The user account has been disabled. (FWB 00012)

Also, when I reload the log-in page, the script generates a new token each time. I thought the point of having a token is that there is only one and it is used to log in.
