I have a webform dashboard that i what to pop up without having to enter a username and password. Is there a way to pass the epicor credentials through the URL of the webform?
Thanks!
I myself am not familiar with those is it basic authentication that it’s using?
What are you trying to accomplish Andrew? (Business, not technical situation)

if it uses basic auth format the url like this https://username:password@dashboardurl.what/blah that should work. A shame the user would see the username and password so make sure that it’s access is singular to that dashboard and nothing else if you do it. Alternatively build a new grid just using a quick web page and a REST call if you can to avoid exposing the username and password
ok and and what is prompting you for password? Is this page something you wrote? or someone that is native to Epicor
Looks like an asp page so you should be able to just hard code the username in the back end (assuming this is something you wrote)
It brings me to an epicor login page before the data shows up.
Is this a native Epicor generated page? Or did you (or someone in your organization) write the web app?
It looks like you should be able to configure credentials within Ignition itself: Configuring Identity Providers - Ignition User Manual 8.0 - Ignition Documentation. From there, you should be able to get a security token to pass around your pages.
