Bypassing the login window


By default, the JDesignerPro login window first appears when a user comes to the HTML page that has the applet tag. However, if you wish all users to see the same screens with the same level of access, use the following parameters.

<param name="JDPUsername" value="a username">

<param name="JDPPassword" value="that user’s password">

Use these parameters to force JDesignerPro to automatically log in as the specified user. This is good for an Internet application where all customers should see the same screens. For example you may want all Internet visitors to see an inventory search and order form. It may look like this:

<param name="JDPUsername" value="Guest">

<param name="JDPPassword" value="abcd">

Where Guest is a user you define in the User Maintenance area under the System Maintenance screens. You’ve assigned Guest the password of "abcd" and the access level that matches your inventory search screens and order form. Now when someone comes to this HTML page, the inventory search screens will load without requiring a user Login. This <param name> tag has logged in automatically as Guest. Everyone will have the same update, insert, delete and search capabilities that you allow in that application.

This Guest-level access will allow an unlimited number of people to load and run the system at the same time.
