FACT(s) (Environment):
Actuate
FIX:
There are two instances when the UserName and Password is required in Actuate for security reasons.
1.) Design Time
2.) Run Time
The design time parameters of the connection object like userName and Password are requsted automatically when one enters the Query Editor.The point to remember here is these are design time Parameters supplied to the Database while designing the report Object.
These parameters will not be included during Run time.
To Design the Report For a Secure Database one must Supply Connection parameters During Run time.
Step 1) Declare Two Variables Eg(Ls_UserName and ls_Password) in the Variables Menu of the type string.
Step 2) Make sure that the Required Option is Checked for the UserName And Password to enfore security. Also The hide text option should be checked while Creating the ls_Password variable. This option when checked hides the text that the user inputs and replaces them with "*" which is required for Password text input.
Step 3) After Capturing these values During Run time. Supply the values to Actuate's Connection Object by Overiding the Connect() Method In the Connection Object.
UserName = Ls_UserName
Password = Ls_Password
Now this above code would enforce the User to Input the username and Password at runtime enfforcing security.
