Call a report from classic ASP (NOT .NET) and pass user credentials?
-
Hi all,
I need to have a classic ASP page call a report and pass a predefined username and password.
We can not open the authentication on the server so I'm looking for suggestions.
Everything I can find online refers to the Web Service, but where/how can I use that with Classic ASP? Or is there another way.
Any help or direction is appreciated.

Maybe a bit of a hack but I'm thinking you could do it w/ URL parameters...

Ben,
Thanks, but you can't pass windows authenication via the URL, only the DB credentials can be passed that way.

Correct...I was under the assumption that you had a predefined username and password that was going to be used? This way I was thinking you could just add a couple URL parameters and have your report read them and validate them against the DB...

Yeah, I'm just having issues getting around the windows authentication required to "hit" the server.
FYI, we did find a work around though. Since our site's login page is .NET, which then directs you to either a .NET application or classic ASP depending on permissions (we're in the process of replacing the classic asp site). We were able to have the classic ASP page just call a .NET page in the application to generate the report in a new window.
I'd still like to know how to call a report from a classic asp application.
