| "I wanted to send a link in an email to show someone how easy
it was. I was surprised that the URL in the page had my userid included
in it. I just removed the trailing arguments and guessed that replacing
the userid with ? would work: Boing! first brings up the password dialog
and then blam! the page for the item.
This will appear as magic to some on Monday when they get the email the link traveled in. But, this is why we have RoAccess. We need a bit of magic. " Mike McCarty |
| Mike is involved with the largest software payroll metadata
project in the world (US Dept. of Defense). It's a very
demanding project. After looking at ASG's WEB Access, they chose
RoAccess instead, and are pleased they did.
As your Repository becomes used Enterprise Wide, collaboration becomes extremely import. People need direct access to information, and don't have the time to navigate general purpost programs to find the pages. They want a single click hyperlike to take them there, immediately. That is what you get with RoAccess. Mike has done some very special things in RoAccess, and he wanted to let others view what he did. So he merely sent his colleagues an email with the "special URL" hyperlink that would drill down directly to his RoAccess Rochade page, report, spreadsheet or graphic. This includes a User Name/Password protection. By default, the hyperlink RoAccess gives you for each page has your user ID embedded (but not your password), because you may be making Bookmarks and Favorites for yourself. But Mike wanted the user to use his own user id (part of very tight US military security policies). Rather then look at the documentation on how to specify in the URL how to pop up a general User Name/Password dialog, he "just guessed" by changing the User Name parameter to "?", and it worked to his surprise. We think the reason we got this email is RoAccess worked the way he guessed it might. That is, it works mostly the way you think it should work. This is no accident. We have had a lot of input for our features from all over the globe for many, many years. Yes RoAccess is easy, but we work hard to make it that way. |
