I am using icCube version 5.2 Community Edition.
I created a schema + report as admin, and it all works ok. Then I am trying to provide access to this report from a web application deployed into Tomcat 7. But ideally, I would like this to be done without icCube requesting the user for authentication.
I tried so far to save the report under anonymous, but that did not work as icCube still requires authentication. icCube server is deployed on a secured server so I could do without its integrated authentication process as well if that makes things easier.
Thanks for the help.
The ability to add customer authentication and or authorization is part of the Enterprise features.

I am trying to silently authenticate the embeded report like done in Power BI Service. However in Report Server embedding is available through iframe and user is prompted to login with Windows/NTLM account. How can I authenticate silently like done in cloud based approach with a master user ?
So here is how I solved this issue for anyone wondering.
I wrote a reverse proxy to Power BI Reporting Server in my .Net Core application and authenticated each request with BASIC. I needed to enable BASIC authentication and CORS from application URL. (also you may need to add Network Service as content manager/viewer to your report)
Here are some useful links:
Proxy
PBIRS CORS
I just downloaded and install the WSO2 Identity Server 5.0.0 in CentoOS 7 to play with it. I created a JDBC DataStore instead of the H2 datastore that comes by default, also uncommented as default primary User Store the JDBC User Store, then run the Identity Server. When I go to the management/configuration/ users and roles/users or roles, the content area appears blank for both cases, users and roles.
So I must be doing something wrong or what?
I am login with the default credentials of admin/admin that the documentation says. The documentation also says that the user must be admin in order to manage users and roles, and I hope is the case as the links to manage users and roles appears but are not working, also in the console shows no error regarding this blank page.
Any directions on what I should go?
I can post the configuration I am using also, but is a very basic one, following the administration stated in the online documentation.
I found the problem, i was using Java 1.8, and saw an error compiling a JSP in the logs in the console in linux, so switch to Java 1.7 and now works fine.
WSO2 Identity server does not support Java 8.
I've seen statements on various Oracle.com properties that claim Oracle CRM On Demand has the capability to access its webservices in a stateless manner however I can't seem to find any documentation on what exactly this entails.
Has anyone ever successfully invoked a stateless request with Oracle CRM On Demand or have any pertinent information?
The entire webservice document is available throught the CRM environment...
Admin>> Web Service administration >> Download documentation
from admin -> Company Administration
set of the flag "Web Services R16 Compatibility Mode"
Now each Request will be stateless and will use the existing session Id for your login user.
it is writtnen on the document!!
Background:
I'm building a small application that will be run daily, pulling data from our own in-house databases and sending it over to our corporate Salesforce instance. I've built a custom object (called Marqui_Instance) in our Salesforce instance to house the data. The app will be creating a couple hundred of these, and attaching them to various Account records.
The Problem:
Our Salesforce instance is Professional edition, which means I can't generate the WSDL for our instance, which makes me think I'm not going to be able to develop code that can create/edit/delete Marqui_Instance objects.
Before I start floundering around in the dark, I thought I'd post on here for advice. The only thing I can think of is to create an identical object in a Salesforce developer account, and use the WSDL from there... but then when I go to deploy the code in production, will it work? I'm scared that the WSDL from my dev account will have some guids or something similar, and my code will only work against the dev account.
If you get your application certified by Salesforce they will provide you with a "Partner Application API" token. Using this when establishing the Salesforce API session will allow your application to work with a professional edition org.
Alternatively, you can also obtain API access to a Professional Edition org by paying an additional fee. You will need to contact your salesforce.com sales person.
Update: Apparently the functionality is enabled by Salesforce internally using the informally named "Black Tab".
See also: Re: Use of the API and Salesforce.com Professional Version
Access to the web services API for Salesforce is only available in Developer, Enterprise, and Unlimited Editions.
I believe that you aren't allowed to login to the API, so even if you managed to generate a WSDL it wouldn't work.
See the full edition comparison chart [PDF].
So here is the scenario:
I have a MOSS 2007 box and I want my clients to be able to access a SharePoint site via the internet. I am told that I will be using an IPA and AD for authentication. However I have a DB outside of SharePoint that holds various business data and I want to use Web Services to access the data, manipulate it, and send it back to SharePoint via web parts.
The issue is that, from what I understand, I am going to have to authenticate the AD user every time a request to the Web Service happens. Obviously I dont want to do this every time because they have already authenticated to get onto the site, however I do want each call to have some form of security so its not open calls to my db. I do plan on having other applications access this service outside of SharePoint, so I dont want to have to reinstall the service for each application or even again.
Has anyone had to perform this task or something similar or do you have any suggestions on how to do this?
Thank you in advance and happy coding!
Why not just deploy the webservice to Sharepoint using a Sharepoint solution and a Feature.
That way it will be running under the sharepoint app pool and all authentication is done by sp.
Edit:
Seeing that SharePoint should not be in "control" (as stated in the comment), you should create the webservice, and run the application it's under in as using Windows Authentication. IMHO you should create a WCF Service. The, using the information found in this article you make the Service authenticate users against the AD usergroups they are in. see the "Security: Authentication" section of the article.
Then in Visual Studio you create a webpart and add a service reference to the project, pointing to your newly created Service. Have the webpart perform the needed logic (i.e. display data etc.)
Deploy the webpart to SharePoint using a SharePoint solution (.wsp files, created with WSPBuilder). Google for SharePoint + wspbuilder + tutorials. The solution should contain 1 feature to deploy the webpart. WSPBuilder integrates with VS and allows for the creation of WSPBuilde project. add a webpart feature item to the project (it will create the xml (deployment related) and code file for the webpart.
