About the Report Launcher for HCL Compass
The Report Launcher for HCL Compass is a web application for running data-pull reports that are saved on a server file system.
Configuring security for the Report Launcher and reports
HCL Compass provides security features that can be configured to protect access to the Report Launcher for Compass and access to the reports themselves. Use the information in this topic to learn about and configure the network, client, and data security for the HCL Compass reporting environment.
Managing credentials for BIRT reports
To build BIRT reports that allow user credentials to be passed or entered at runtime, define HCL Compass data sources in BIRT to permit user and password information to be passed as invocation parameters by the Report Launcher at run time.
Clearing user and password settings
The BIRT report designer automatically saves the user name and an encrypted representation of the password in the report design (rptdesign) file. If you want to require each user to specify HCL Compass credentials when they start the report from the Report Launcher, clear the user name and password settings from the report design before copying it to the report file server.
