In order to use IIS, do I have to have port 80 available. For security reasons, I don't have port 80 available. I thought I could configure port 8080 on IIS. Is that true?

Has anyone successfully set up their webfocus home page to use integrated windows authentication while using port 8080? For this install, I can't have users access on port 80 like the other installations we have had in the past, so I can't replicate the way those were set up. Currently, I'm being prompted to login every time I go to the home page. This is not ideal. Users would like to be authenticated automatically by being recognized by windows

Thank you, this allowed me to get into the system as you specified. Sorry for the late response. This new install seems to be giving me 1 problem after the other.

I have done a fresh install of 9.1.1 webfocus on a new server (reporting server and client all on one box, with a separate sql server for the repository). I have been able to set up the reporting server just fine. I can log in there with my AD credentials and see everything I am supposed to see. However, I can get to the home page login screen server:port/ibi_apps , but no matter what credentials I put in, it says incorrect username or password. In the logs, it has [2024-07-23 12:32:19,479] INFO signin 0000000000000000 {userId=:unknown:} authentication Failure-unregistered_user <user> IPaddr:**.**.***.** I can't get to the client administrator console to check the settings because I can't log in. Not sure what else to check.

It seems that the pattern with it working or not working has to do with whether or not you just accept the default sources for the parameters or if you decide to change the source of the parameters to something else (in the instance that you want to display a description to the user to choose from rather than a code. when you do this, it breaks the chain and the parameters are only chained to the one directly after it and no further than that even though everything is set up correctly.

Sorry, I've been in training all week, but I'm glad you found my tip helpful! -Erin

I have something similar on a report I've done. I created a defined field based off of the text in a column using HTML code:

Well, instead of going the CAR file route, I added the parameters in the actual fex that is displayed on the dashboard using the "WITHIN" keyword in addition to chaining them in the dashboard. Now they work correctly. It is just strange how sometimes that works without doing the WITHIN and other times it doesn't. I was using a reporting object at first in the fex, so I thought maybe that was the case, but I have another dashboard using a reporting object and it works just fine.

So the strange thing is that this works on one of my dashboards, but not on the other. Neither of my synonyms have hierarchy in them either. The parameters are indented just like yours but, for your example, if I changed Author Language and skipped over country, it would show all authors as if I never filtered the Author language. I will see if I can replicate it with the car file

Thank you @Dave Pfeiffer!

I have a visualization page that I've created in 9.1.1 that has several parameters that I have chained together. For example Department -> Division -> SubDivision However, when I select a department, it does filter the division, but it does NOT filter the subdivision. I have to filter division otherwise, subdivision shows ALL subdivisions even though they don't exist under the Department. The way I chained them was by dropping the child filter on top of the parent and it looks correct visually (indented as it goes down the list) in the filters section. Is there something else that I need to do to make these controls filter even if the user decides they want to jump straight from Department to Subdivision? Or is it possible?

Thanks John! I was also able to connect and get the data. This helps a bunch!

We need to be able to check a user's last login into the system and disable any user accounts that have not logged in for the past 90 days, but we need to automate this process, so we need a way to get the list of users and their last logon date/time. The resource analyzer does not seem to have a way to schedule something like this and seems to only be on demand.

Thank you!!! You're the BEST!!

Thank you. I will re-check my code. Maybe the 'H' was throwing it off.
