Designer, OData and authentication header

[ysantosa]

Hello.

I've got a question on how to authenticate with OData when creating a data source from the Designer.

There's only Username and Password that goes as Query parameters (which is a security concern).

But importantly - is there a way to customise this before connecting ?

For example - changing authentication header to add tokens.

In Designer ? No programmatic authentication please - I just want this to work from within the Designer.

Much appreciated for answering.

Kind regards.

Hello,

Could you describe your request more detailed?
Do you want to set the token in the Desginer?
Will it be the same each time?
Do you want to be able to change it later?
Before each report rendering or just once?

Thank you.

Ticket reference: #2193.

> Do you want to set the token in the Desginer?
Yes, I want to be able to set tokens in the Designer - be it Designer in windows or javascript client.

> Will it be the same each time?
It will be the same as long as the token doesn't expire.

> Do you want to be able to change it later?
Yes - when the token expire, I need to be able to refresh it.

> Before each report rendering or just once?
Does it matter ? Which one is easier ?

I'd like to know if there are examples for both.

And thanks for replying !

Hello,

You could use the next code in the onBeginProcessData event to add necessary headers.

Code: Select all

viewer.onBeginProcessData = function (event) {
	event.headers.push({key: "headerName", value: "headerValue"});
}

Thank you.

Hello, I'm looking for the similar solution for .NET server side report generation.
I use .NET back-end and front-end angular viewer (stimulsoft-viewer-angular)
I want to generate report on back-end and be able to pass Authentication header to my OData services.
Is it possible?

Hello.

This solution is for JS report engine only.
