Resolution

To  add username and password in the published standalone URL follow the steps below: 

 

•  First create the standalone URL from a dashboard, in the dashboard designer:

 

1. 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/xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx
      
      
   4. ADD at the end of the URL, the following syntax:
      &user=<username>&password=<Password>
      
      An example URL would be:
      
      http://##.###.##.##/dashboard/jsp/standalone.jsp?mode=presentation&dUri=definition/xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx&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.
