Hard code AD user name and pwd in the mobile connection.

Hi Experts,

Recently we have enabled users to access the BO mobile through internet. We have windows AD login for all the users.

We would like to have the user name as username@XYZ.CORP.COM in the Mobile device.IPAD

For that we have tried in 2 ways to do the same. But it didn’t work.

1) create a below

sapbi://addconnection?name=BOQA&server_url=http://sapbo.xyz.corp.com&cms=10.5.8.152&authType=secWinAD&default=no&user=username@XYZ.CORP.COM&pas...orp.com&cms=10.5.8.152&authType=secWinAD&default=no&user=username@XYZ.CORP.COM&password=Password&save_pass

word=yes

2) Create a connection in the server properties with the below.

mobi.connections=BOQA

BOQA.DisplayName=BOD_Mobile

BOQA.BOBJ_MOBILE_URL=http://sapbo.xyz.corp.com

BOQA.BOBJ_MOBILE_CMS=10.5.8.152

BOQA.BOBJ_MOBILE_USER_NAME:username@XYZ.CORP.COM

BOQA.BOBJ_MOBILE_USER_PASSWORD:Password

BOQA.BOBJ_MOBILE_AUTH_METHOD=secWinAD

BOQA.BOBJ_MOBILE_SAVE_PWD=True

But it didn’t work.

Am I missed anything to achieve the same. Could you please suggest

Connection is establishing. Connection is showing all the details except user name and pwd.

User name is displaying as "username" only. it should display as "username@XYZ.CORP.COM"

The username and password is not supported in the addconnection string.

It's not best practice to send a username and especially a password in clear text.

However, this is under discussion for the next release (planned for December) of the Mobi SDK.

We'll post more info on this SCN page in the coming weeks.

As to the format of the username: it has to be the same as you use to log in via Lauchpad. The server address (xyz.corp.com) is already part of the server_url parameter.
