How to integrate QV9 security with an existing forms authentication based asp.net application?

[#1]

Hi,

We've been using QVS 8.5 for a while with a custom solution that wraps the QV ZFC scripts with our scripts. This allowed us to use the DMS API to set permissions for users and get tickets to use with the ZFC scripts.

With QV9, we want to take advantage of the new accesspoint page and not have to generate the HTML object and create our own pages but we still want to use our forms authentication security.

While looking at the accesspoint.aspx code, I can see the membership User us being passed to the HandleRequest method and is being used to authenticate. It looks like it works with windows authentication. Is there a simple way to change it to use forms authentication instead? (we are running the reports with the QV web server, not IIS)

thanks,
Ishai

There's no way to do it, QV webserver is not a real webserver, it publish only Qv pages and not custom pages.
You sould use IIS and adding the authenticated user to the http header, you may intercept it setting QVS to read authenticated user from http header, see server manual.
