Managed Reporting requires that users be authenticated to access any information in its repository. After a successful sign-on, Managed Reporting stores the encrypted credentials in the MR_COOKIE, which is available throughout the browser session or until the cookie expires.
Note: If the application will authenticate users against an external repository, please refer to the Managed Reporting Realm Drive Javadoc accessible using the URL http://localhost/ibi_html/javadoc/wfapi/realm/index.html.
The following name-value pairs are used to authenticate against the Managed Reporting Repository.
