Issue/Introduction

I created a custom dashboard with dashboard designer.

Is it possible to pass username and password in the published standalone URL as it was done in UMP? 

I'd like to embed login authorization information in the dashboard URL. 

 

Environment

• Release: UIM 20.3, 20.4, 20.4 CUx
• Component: Dashboard Designer

Resolution

First create the standalone URL from a dashboard, in the dashboard designer. 

The quickest way is to:

1. Open a dashboard in Dashboard Designer in in UIM OC.

2. Go to Live view or on the published Dashboard, and click the View Full screen:

3. Copy the URL from the browser

    Example: 

   http://<oc_server>:<port>/dashboard/jsp/standalone.jsp?mode=presentation&dUri=definition/e3c9d20c-c69a-4e26-b25c-e6ddf3b6bb90

 

4.  ADD at the end of the URL, the following syntax:

    &user=<username>&password=<Password>

 

An example URL would be:

http://10.10.10.10/dashboard/jsp/standalone.jsp?mode=presentation&dUri=definition/e3c9d20c-c69a-4e26-b25c-e6ddf3b6bb90&user=administrator&password=<example_password>

*The user name is case-sensitive

**If the username or password is wrong/fails to authenticate you will be prompted to insert the username and password again in the dialog.
