XMII Applet and Authentication

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a webpage which has an applet embeded on it. I can access this webpage via a browser from the local xmii server and the applet displays correctly. Whenever I try to access it from a remote client I am getting an "Authentication Required" message where the applet should be. The rest of the page is displayed normally. Can anyone help with this.

In the java console I am getting the following exception:

ERROR - Error Loading Resource File for Applet_: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission http.strictPostRedirect read)

Authenticator::Authentication error is Authentication Required

Thanks,

Mahwish

Mahwish,

You must open webpages containing xMII content in a logged in session. To login use: http://<server name>/Lighthammer

Then in the same browser - type the url to your page.

You could also create navigation links to your page in the navigation editor.

Hi Mahwish,

For this you need to have data access rights for the user with which you are logging in. Ideal procedure is you should create a user, role. Assign user to role. Next give Data Access rights to the role in Security Services -> Data Access tab. Now create a navigation tree for the user in Portal Services-> Navigation. There you can assign the page to either to user or to the role. Even if you login with the Admin rights in the Login page and copy the URL also the page works..

Thanks,

Rajesh.

Hi Mahwish,

I am assuming that you are using an htm or html for you web page extension. Try changing the extension to irpt to force you to log into xMII prior to loading the page. You could also use the URL

http://<server name>/Illuminator/PortalLogin.jsp?target=/dir/page.htm

To force htm or html pages to authenticate please see note 930312
