Servoy Forum

I have a solution with the mustAuthenticate flag checked. When run in developer it asks for username and password as expected and everything works fine.

When I deploy the solution to the application server and run the client there is no prompt for username and password.

I have done the same for other solutions and they prompt for user/pass from application server just fine. For some reason this solution will not.

In the past the flag has been unchecked as we did not need to use a login until recently. Now it seems as if the server does not want to recognize that the flag is checked. I have completely removed the solution from the server, restarted the server, and reimported the solution and still no luck. I cannot seem to get it to prompt for user/pass at all.

Any ideas?

joshuahysong ,

Which version of Servoy are you using?

Is this webclient or smart client?

Does your solution have the loginsolution property set?

Rob

We are using 5.2.8

This is in smart client

The solution is set as a "normal" solution just like our test solution which successfully uses the default login.

joshuahysong,

Is the user already logged in in the application server?

If the File->logout menu item is enabled, this is the case.
Does it work after logout?

If yes, then the question is how did the user get logged in...

Rob

There are no users that are logged in to the application server. This is on multiple client machines.

The solution in question only prompts for a password in the developer and not in the smart client once deployed to the application server.

We have created a test solution. Checked the "mustAuthenticate" box and imported it to the application server and it does prompt for user/pass in both the developer and the application server.

Is there anything at all that could cause a solution to not prompt for user/pass if the "mustAuthenticate" flag is checked?

Yes, if the loginSolutionName property is set on the main solution.

Rob

You are absolutely correct. Somehow I had set the loginFormName to -none-. I changed it back to default and everything is working fine now.

Thanks!

I have the same problem, however, on the main form properties I see loginForm and the only choice is 'none' or one of the forms in the solutions. No default. Suggestions? K

Right click in the properties pane on "loginForm" and select "Restore Default Value". This has worked for me in the past on other fields like background, borders, etc so hopefully this will restore the default value for that field as well.

The worked like a charm. Thanks very much.

As much as I love Servoy, the documentation is sadly lacking. If in help you search for mustAuthenticate, or loginForm, there are no hits. The Servoy Forum with all its volunteers is the best documentation.

It seems strange that choosing loginForm = none would cancel out the mustAuthenticate condition.

Again, thank you. K
