Bypassing Web Report Server Login Screen and Going Right to Search Screen

From Support

Listed below are the steps required to use the Web Report Server process without displaying the Web Report Server login screen:

1.) Download the Web Report Server EXE V1.0.8 or above from the RJS web site listed below: http://www.rjssoft.com/FILES/rjswebup.exe

2.) After unzipping the updated WSPISRV2.EXE program file, copy the file to your CGI-BIN web directory.

3.) User authentication must be enabled for your web server. The Web Report Server will look for the REMOTE_USER web server variable when using the automatic login process.

4.) In the "WinSpool/400 Batch Report Server", create or update an existing user ID in the "Edit Users" table. Make sure the user ID and password are the same. They must match.

5.) Use the following URL to call the WinSpool/400 Web Report Server and tell it to look for an authenticated web user.

http://localhost/cgi-bin/wspisrv2.exe?action=initauth 

The "initauth" setting tells the Web Report Server to use the NT authentication to bypass the login screen.

6.) If the login works, the " Web Report Server Search" screen should be displayed and the user can search as usual.
