Displaying the AppServer authentication dialog

To display WebClient's AppServer authentication dialog, use the _getAppServerAuthentication.p procedure, which has the following signature:

DEFINE INPUT        PARAMETER prompt                     AS CHARACTER.
DEFINE INPUT        PARAMETER enable-persistent-checkbox AS LOGICAL.
DEFINE INPUT-OUTPUT PARAMETER appserver_userid           AS CHARACTER.
DEFINE INPUT-OUTPUT PARAMETER appserver_password         AS CHARACTER.
DEFINE INPUT-OUTPUT PARAMETER appserver_info             AS CHARACTER.
DEFINE INPUT-OUTPUT PARAMETER persistent                 AS LOGICAL.
DEFINE OUTPUT       PARAMETER choseOK                    AS LOGICAL.

Use the _getAppServerAuthentication.p procedure if the codebase and business logic reside on the same AppServer, or if they share the same authorization information and authentication is required:

Only at the AppServer and not at the AIA Web server (or you are not using AIA)

Or:

At AIA and at the AppServer, but AIA authorization information is set in the security cache and thus available in CODEBASE-LOCATOR:URL-USERID and CODEBASE-LOCATOR:URL-PASSWORD

Note: In this case, you might instead call _getAIAandAppServerAuthentication.p, passing in the known values and allowing the end user to fill in the missing values.

To invoke the _getAppServerAuthentication.p procedure, call it with a partially qualified pathname that starts with the wcadd directory, as in the following code fragment:

RUN wcadd/_getAppServerAuthentication.p (parameter-list).
