Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
WebClient Applications

Authentication dialogs

Suppose the same AppServer contains application components to be downloaded and business logic to be accessed by an application. Suppose further that an application needs to access the AppServer before WebClient downloads any As Needed application components from the AppServer (an application can determine this because the security cache does not contain authentication information such as user IDs or passwords.) As a result, the application must prompt the end user for the security information. To do so, your application can display the security dialogs that WebClient uses. This will provide the end user with a consistent interface.

For information on calling the authentication dialogs WebClient uses from the application, see the "Using WebClient’s authentication dialogs in your application" section.
