BOXI 3.1 InfoView "Logon denied: Your session is not valid or has expired"

[Former Member]

I am trying to prefrom a single signon from my web application to the InfoView web application. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and C#. The web applications are located on different servers. The InfoView application is ASP.NET I have found several samples but they all seem to be java samples. I have the following code and when I am redirected to the InfoView web page I get the error "Logon denied: Your session is not valid or has expired". I have done similar code for the OpenDocument URL and that works but I cannot get this to work. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

// Start Code Snipit

string boxiServer = "Name of the BOXI Server";

SessionMgr sessionManager = new CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.SessionMgr();

EnterpriseSession enterpriseSession = sessionManager.Logon("User Login", "User Password", boxiServer, "secEnterprise");

string token = enterpriseSession.LogonTokenMgr.CreateLogonTokenEx("", 120, 100);

Response.Redirect(string.Format("http://BOXISERVER/InfoviewApp/Logon/Start.aspx?ivsLogonToken=", token), false);

// End Code Snipit

Elaine is correct.

You can only use a logon token if you are trying to log into the Java Infoview.

Do you have the same code for a jsp page, please?

I cannot make it work to log to the Infoview main page.it is probably a cookie or token problem, but i cant solve it.

Thank You.

Régis.

Regis,

Please create a new thread for your question.

Be sure to specify that language you are using, what version of Enterprise, and which Infoview you are trying to connect to.

Hello, Rex;

You cannot logon to InfoView using the URL and a token. You need to create an Identity cookie on the infoview side similar to the following:

Create an aspx page with the following code:
           CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.SessionMgr sessMgr = new CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.SessionMgr(); 
          //Log onto Enterprise and create an EnterpriseSession
           CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.EnterpriseSession enterpriseSession;
           enterpriseSession = sessMgr.Logon("Administrator", "", System.Environment.MachineName.ToString(), "secEnterprise");
        
           //Create a CrystalIdentity object, set the EnterpriseSession and store in session 
           BusinessObjects.Enterprise.Infoview.Common.CrystalIdentity identity;
           identity = new BusinessObjects.Enterprise.Infoview.Common.CrystalIdentity();
           identity.Session = enterpriseSession;
           HttpContext.Current.Session.Add("INFOVIEW_SESSION", identity);
           
           //Create the InfoViewdotnetses cookie which holds the SerializedSession
           HttpCookie InfoViewdotnetses = new HttpCookie("InfoViewdotnetses");
           InfoViewdotnetses.Value = Server.UrlEncode(enterpriseSession.SerializedSession.ToString());
           InfoViewdotnetses.Path = @"/";
           Response.Cookies.Add(InfoViewdotnetses);
           Response.Redirect("logon.aspx");

Place this page in the InfoViewApp folder (C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Web Content\InfoViewApp\InfoViewApp

Let me know if that is what you are looking for.

Elaine
