anonymous access to dashboards via rest
Is there away to bypass the authentication pop up when attempting to access specific dashboards via rest? such as.
http://localhost:8080/rest/managmentreports/create/xyz%20Issue%20Policy%20Dashboard
We would like to provide access to the general user population for certain general dashboards.
Most browsers support the following URL notation
http://username:password@servername/url
Can you give this a try? Obviously you should only do this with a guest account that doesnt have too many privileges as people will get to see the password. but it is worth a try
Did not work...get windows pop up box that says cannot find
http://.....:8020/rest/management/reports/create/Diamond%20Policy%20Issue%20Dashoard
If I clear out the uname and password I get normal authentication pop up
Whats the browser you are using? Lots of browsers provide plugins for auto authentication
IE does not support this syntax for security reasons as detailed here.
My versions of Chrome (39.0.2171.65 m) and Opera (25.0) support it silently. My versions of FireFox (24.8.1esr) and SeaMonkey (2.26.1) support it with a warning to let you know about the login taking place.
Is there any other way to provide dashboard access without requiring login?
You can schedule a report and let them be exported as HTML, PDF, Excel, ... automatically and either send them via email or maybe put them on a shared directory. You can right click on the Dashboard and click on Report. There you see all options for scheduling these automatic generated reports
