Hi,

I'am trying to open a crystal report from B1.I need to pass the User Id and Password of the SQL Server.How do i retrieve these without Hardcoding them .Currently we do not want the user to enter the Login details.. from an UI..

Is this information stored in the SBO Tables anywhere.

So I have to prompt the user to enter the UID and Pwd explicitly..???

Hi,

Unfortunately that is exactly what it means (:

You can however still access the server name and database name. I use these to correctly set the server and database for each of the tables.

I created a simple form that asks for the username and password and stores it in a user table (encrypted of course).

Then when I open a report I check if the username/password is stored if not I prompt for it then continue printing the report.

Hello!

I believe is not possible to read the db password. You can access the database with the credentials of SBO, but, if you want to pass the DB password to any other application, that is not possible.

Hi Tim!

I suppose there is the only way to get SQLServer login/password - you have to use <b>SSO</b> and then read <b>DI</b>-Company properties like <b>CompanyDB</b>, <b>DbPassword</b> and <b>DbUserName</b>.

Hope it's clear.

Hi!

>> you have to use SSO and then read DI-Company

>> properties like CompanyDB, DbPassword and DbUserName.

i've tested that i told u. i can access and read all properties (CompanyDB, DbPassword and DbUserName), but DbPassword-value is '***********'.

i suppose it was designed specially for IT-security.
