Hi Experts ,

Is there any direct way in Baan by which we can open a password dialog box at the start of any session.

For eg. Take some session tccomxxxxmyyyy

But wen i run that session , a password dialog should open and only if validation is done the required session should get opened . Is there any way for that ?

Thanx in advance .

hi,

Try exploring the sessions authorisation module. You can define user level authorisations for a session/module/package.

Hi ,

Thanks n Regards,

you mean popup login screen before loading every session ???

Hi ,

I am sorry i might not be clear in explaining what is my requirement ..
What i want is as an when you run any session say for eg. tdslsxxxxmyyy

a popup asking for username and password should apear same like the one appears when we restrict GTM , or password protect it .

Hope i am clear this time . I guess i have almost done it but for that i built a new session i wanted to know wether there is some direct way . Waiting for the reply ..

Thank You in advance ..

Hi to all,
you can use a function that creates a small login dialog where user can puts name and password. I'm sending you an example of what I mean. I suggest you to put this function in a dll for better reuse.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Hi ,

Hello Smallboy,

I looked at your little script for login dialog. First of all I get a few errors, for instance dscpasswdfield is a non-existant dsc-type, at least in Baan 5.0B. Also the evt.keypress.key CLOSE_WINDOW is not a valid type in Baan 5.0B.

But except for that, this only creates a dialog box, but does not yet check the inputted login/passwd entered, which is the main point here...

I mean this object you create you can also do easily by just creating a new session with 2 fields, which will be invoked whereever applicable, but again how do you validate the input...?

Hi to all,

I' ve tested the script on Baan IV and in this environment the dscpasswdfield is defined. I suppose that for the Baan 5 you should use something like

d_e.pass = create.object(DsCField, d_win,
DsCpasswordField, True,
DsNx, 100,
DsNy, 50,
DSNwidth, 100,
DsNheight, 20
)

For the CLOSE_WINDOW event this is a define in the script
#define CLOSE_WINDOW 1027
It simply determines if the user clicks on the X button in then top-right corner of the window.

To clarify, the function simply creates the dialog for login/password but does not check the input. If you want to do this, add the code on the EVTPUSHBUTTON for ok button. I can not be more specific because I don' t know against what you wanto to validate (at OS level, or in Baan, or a server on your net...)

And of course you can do it with a normal session.

Hope this helps

Regards

Our Baan login are the same ones as our WIN network login. So I would love to have a way to check it with either Baan or WIN user/passwd details. Just don't know how to do that...?

Hi,

I Tried the script myself - it works great.

Thanks for Smallboy
