Creating dynamic ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

[Deskin, Bob]

The 8.41D1 Release Notes had further information based on additional
testing and investigation:

Users must have the "Log on Locally" privilege in order to login
successfully. Access the Group Policy Editor or the Local Security
Policy Editor. The "Log on Locally" privilege is set from the User
Rights Assignment within Local Policies.

You don't necessarily need Administrator privileges.

Bob

Hi Syed and List, 

The Administrator privilege issue {being required} was documented in the

Powerhouse 4GL & powerhouse Web Release & Install Notes. Version 8.41D
for 
NT/2000/XP
Page 10: NETD and Active Directory
Reference # 422287
Description: Users cannot login through NETD if using Windows 2000
Active 
Directory. NETD returns an error.
Workaround: Users must have Administrator priveleges. Cognos development
is 
investigating an appropriate solution.

I recall the user logon failing regardless of correct name and password.
In our development environment, each user is a member of the Admin
group, so it was a late issue for us at the time of deployment; like
Syed.

Do our Cognos members/listeners have a definitive on this one yet?
Thanks Glenn Baxter

personally I would use syntax 'set report device disc NOLIMIT name
$UEVD_REPNAME; but that aside, why do you feel that the network user you
are using to connect to server has to be a member of the ADMINISTRATORS
group ?

Incidentally, I am always happy for the users to log in when they run
the Ax app, so I wonder if this is happening at other times, when
exactly are your users being prompted for login details  ? Regards, Joe.

Dear Gurus,

I'm using AXIANT 4GL/PH/WINDOWS (Thin Client).

To set the report path dynamically, I am storing the path in the
database. I'm creating a dynamic Windows environment variable to pass
this path to the report using the following command.

    SETSYSTEMVAL("UEVD_REPNAME", TRUNCATE(REPORTFILE))

I'm using the following command in the quiz file.
    set report device disc LIMIT 10000 name $UEVD_REPNAME

My issue is security.
The network user I'm using to connect to server has to be a member of
the ADMINISTRATORS group. And I could not suppress the network user
logon dialog box. How can I resolve this issue?

Can anyone helpme out of this issue? I'll appreciate.

Regards,
SYED.
