The environment I'm working in is a Crystal Reports Server 2008 talking to a MySQL Server 5.1 database using JDBC.

The problem is that I get a database logon screen every time I try to access a report from Crystal Reports Server.

I've setup a JDBC connection using the MySQL Connector/J driver. When I create a .rpt file I provide the login credentails all is fine. I then publish to InfoView and go to access the report and it prompts me for username and password to the database. I then went to CMC and right-clicked on the report and opened the Database Configuration. I've selected 'Use original database logon information from the report' and 'Use same database logon as when report is run'. However, I still get the logon screen when I try to access the report.

Were you ever able to determine how to bypass the logon screen, and automatically supply the username/password information? I have the same problem.

Thanks.

Yes. You need to go to the Business View Manager, goto View -> Repository, and that will bring a window up on the right. I believe you need to select each dynamic cascading prompt and provide the credentials for it to use. I don't have the UI in front of me so I can't confirm these are the correct steps but I do remember having to set permissions on each data source. Once it has permissions you can tell it to not prompt the user for access.
