Q: How do you set the Authentication Mode in versaSRS?

A: VersaDev Supports a number of authentication options, which are set in the "Web.config" file which is located under the root directory where vesraSRS is installed.

In the Web.config file the following section can be found near the top - this is where you can set the authentication mode;

--------------------------------------------------------------

<authentication mode="Windows">
   <!-- Originally Set To Forms -->
   <forms name=".ASPXLogon" loginUrl="logon1.aspx" protection="All" timeout="30">
   </forms>
  </authentication>

-------------------------------------------------------------

If you use Windows Based Authentication, when adding System users into versaSRS, you will need to set up their username to be exactly the same as their windows login username (without any domain prefix). The password for the user must contain atleast 1 character or a space (this will not be used as the Windows password will be used instead). When a user starts up versaSRS the system will then use their Windows credentials and they will launch straight into versaSRS.

Also,

Within the versaSRS-SMC make sure that the Application Setting of 'RemoveDomainFromUsername' is set to "Remove the domain". This will remove the Domain from the username (i.e. Domain\Username) when presented to versaSRS. The system will then try and match the presented Windows Username to a versaSRS Username. If a match is made the user will be granted access. If not, the standard Forms Based logon screen will be displayed.
