Prompt Database User Name / Password

Hi,

It could be userfull to have a way to dynamically prompt for user name and password for the database connection. The proposed solution to put the connection string in a report parameter exposes sensitive information. It could be an option in the "Configure SQL Data Source" where we could set a checkbox as "Prompt for user name and password". At the end, everything would be saved with the report definition except the user name and password. On the report rendering, the user name and password will raised a dialog box for user name and password for the report.

 

Thanks,

Hi Patrick,

As I promised, I discussed your request with our development team.Note that currently, you can still set the connection string securely from the backend and the user will no be able to see it. You can check the approach in the Action NavigateToReport does not work after updating the Connection String dynamically in a Custom Report Resolver KB article. 

For .NET Core applications, if a specific configuration needs to be passed to the reporting engine, please, it can be added through a new IConfiguration instance in the Starup.cs class. The idea is that you need to create your implementation of the IConfiguration interface. In it, you should add the custom logic that should pick the connection string.
