User/Password Login CR9 Enterprise

[didonato]

I'm using CR9, CE9 and Oracle 8.05.

I'm in the process of coverting my CR8 reports running from CE8 into version 9 (CR and CE). The problem that I'm having is when I passed username and password in the a URL it prompts me for the username and password for every TABLE in my report. It worked fine when I used CE8. Here are the steps that I took that caused this problem.

1. Load CR9 and CE9 on test machine that has IIS. (and SP)
2. Converted my old CR8 reports into CR9, then copied them to the test machine.
3. I tried to access the report using a URL command (http:\\test\test.rpt?user0=guest&password0=guest&init=actx)
4. If I have one table the reports works fine, If I have more than one table I have to pass a user1/password1 or user2/password2 depending on how many tables are in the report.
5. If I don't specify the user and password in the URL, crytal prompts me with a login screen for user/password. The strange thing about it is if I type in the username/password (ONCE) the report works fine, even if I have more than one table.

Thanks

This has come up a lot recently. URL reporting in CE9 has been deprecated and is no longer even documented. A colleague found out from CD support that the URL report was not even tested for 9 and is only included for some of the legacy stuff, but it is going the way of the dodo.

The prompt dialog is a different process and should be able to propogate the info through the tables.
