How to Provide Authentication ?

Hi ,

I have developed a qvw file. Now how to provide authentication for it.(i.e) the file before opening must ask for username and password   and check if it matches. Can it be done only when the qvw file is deployed from server or what ?

Hi Nagammai,

I have attached a reference zip file for you.

It contains a sample for Security. Please have a look.

Security can be Used Id based  or by NT name.

User ID and password will be asked by Qvw irrespective of a desktop or server.

A NT name will only work via Access point i.e. On server with a License.

check if you are using a personal edition.. you need to have a licensed qv version on your system to be able to open the qvw...
