Todd Van Valkenburg Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I have a request to send an email that includes a direct url to a specific fex that resides in the repository. The thought is that when the recipient clicks on the link, the recipient would have to authenticate and then it would, if authorized, run the fex without having to navigate to a particular folder and click on a fex. Is this possible? If so, how do you construct this url? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Beagan Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 If you right-click the fex and selectRun > Run in new windowthen to you see the url listed in the browser's address bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Van Valkenburg Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 Thank you! So simple. Looks like you have to be authenticated first otherwise if it is not a public (i.e. EVERYONE security) fex, at least for me, I see a 403 - Access Denied. Is there a way to take the user to the login, have the person authenticate to WebFOCUS, then run the fex if allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Huebgen Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 This depends on your security settings if you have Anonymous Authentication enabled this is what is going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Beagan Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Right, you have to get authenticated. I tried a quick test in Edge, pasted the url into the address bar and hit enter. It prompted me for id/password, then showed the report output. But the behavior is probably dependent on your environment and security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Van Valkenburg Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 Thanks for testing! Ok, sounds like there is a way but may require a tweak to our configuration. I will put in a case and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Van Valkenburg Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 We do have Anonymous Authentication checked. I will put in a case with ibi and go from there. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Beagan Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Patrick, in your URL it looks like the question mark character was removed after run.bip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Huebgen Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I do not think you can get to a logon prompt with this setting on unless you create a separate security zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
