User login from other application

Question

Hello,

I am trying to implement direct login authentication for Knowage BI tool where user can directly access BI tool from our website's menu link.

Basically, what I want to implement is that if user click on the menu "Knowage BI" then session UserID and Password should be passed to Knowage tool and only shows that user's profile directly with out showing Knowage login screen.

I will be thankful, if I will get any suggestions to solve this issue.

Thank You,

Pritesh

Answer 1

You can see this example:

<script type="text/javascript">

        /*

         *  setup some basic informations in order to invoke Knowage server's services

         */

         

         var user = 'biuser';

         var password = 'biuser';

         

        Sbi.sdk.services.setBaseUrl({

            protocol: 'http'     

            , host: 'localhost'

            , port: '8080'

            , contextPath: 'knowage'

            , controllerPath: 'servlet/AdapterHTTP'  

        });

        

        

        execTest2 = function() {

            var html = Sbi.sdk.api.getDocumentHtml({

                documentLabel: 'par_document_label'

                , executionRole: '/spagobi/user'

                , parameters: {ELAB_ID: 'ELA_T_ANVOPOD_1', TIPO_AN_ID: 'ANVOFATT'}

                , displayToolbar: true

                , canResetParameters: false

                , iframe: {

                    height: '500px'

                    , width: '100%'

                    , style: 'border: 0px;'

                }

            });

            document.getElementById('targetDiv').innerHTML = html;

        };

      

            /*

            * the callback invoked uppon request termination

            *

            * @param result the server response

            * @param args parameters sent to the server with the original request

            * @param seccess true if the service has been executed by the server in a succesfull 

way

            */ 

            var cb = function(result, args, success) {

                

                if(success === true) {

                execTest2();

                } else {

                    alert('ERROR: Wrong username or password');

                }

            };

            

doLoginAndExecute = function() {

Sbi.sdk.api.authenticate({

params : {

user : user,

password : password

}

,

callback : {

fn : cb,

scope : this

}

});

};

</script>

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

Would you please explain how this should work? Because I do not exactly get this process.

Appreciated.

Thanks,

Answer 2

Hi

actually you can send credentials to Knowage using POST method, USERNAME and PASSWORD parameters, this way you'll obtain a silent login.

Apart from that, I suggest you to have a look at threads in Integration, API and SDK and Single Sign-on categories, I'll find useful alternatives and information.

Hope this helps

Bye

Hi Pritesh,

Did you find a solution of this problem ?

Hi,

No, I have tried to send my credentials through POST method but was not successful in it. I am also trying to find another way like API to solve this problem.

If you can help me with this, it would be great.

Thanks,

This is the error I am getting.
