Linking to a specific report on Intranet? (& passing it a parameter) 1

[lawsonreports]

We have a staff section on our intranet where the users login with their SSN number. We want to replace an existing report with a similar one in CE. This report has a parameter for SSN. Is there a way to place a link on our intranet that will allow a user to run the report, without any additional interaction from them (no logging in to anything else) after they select it? Or, must they log in to CE? And even so, can this be done? We have a deadline looming and so far our tech folks have no clue as to how to do this, so I am doing a little discovery here. Thanks in advance!!!

Hi, you can create a shortcut using the URL to call a particular published report by its ID and include the authentication info in it ( this one is for guest access):

http://YourCeServer/viewrpt.cwr?id=1263141&apsname=Guest&apsauthtype=secEnterprise&init=actx

If you want, you can include the parameter value(s) as needed:

http://YourCeServer/viewrpt.cwr?id=...erprise&init=actx&promptex-WORK_REQUEST_NO=12

hope it helps...

You can also set up single sign on which uses NT authentication. It is set up via IIS and will log each person on auto according to their local NT logon.
