i create a vs2005 c# web application to control user access to cognos10, and use a sample code from IBM support, but it still doesn't work. the security of cognos10 is using NTLM. do i need to change any configuration of congnos10 to make it work?
i already give
c8CMS.Url = "http://congnos10:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch";
it just can't get cam_passsport when the program runs to this line "c8CMS.logon(xmlEncodedCredentials, null);". it always jumps to Exception
Page.Response.Output.WriteLine("Error...
can anyone help me out? and thanks for your help in advance.
the code is following,
public bool specificUserLogon(string userName, string userPassword, string userNamespace)
{
try
{
System.Text.StringBuilder credentialXML = new System.Text.StringBuilder("<credential>" );
credentialXML.AppendFormat( "<namespace>{0}</namespace>", userNamespace );
credentialXML.AppendFormat( "<username>{0}</username>", userName );
credentialXML.AppendFormat( "<password>{0}</password>", userPassword );
credentialXML.Append( "</credential>" );
//The csharp toolkit encodes the credentials
string encodedCredentials = credentialXML.ToString ();
xmlEncodedXML xmlEncodedCredentials = new xmlEncodedXML();
xmlEncodedCredentials.Value = encodedCredentials;
searchPathSingleObject[] emptyRoleSearchPathList = new searchPathSingleObject[0];
c8CMS.logon(xmlEncodedCredentials, null);
cam_passsport = c8CMS.biBusHeaderValue.CAM.CAMPassport.id;
//System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>alert('passsport = ' + cam_passsport)</SCRIPT>");
return true;
}
catch(System.Exception ex)
{
Page.Response.Output.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message.ToString());
return false;
}
}//specificUserLogon
