I wanted to create a button on a seperate page than the database to allow default users to view the database. I set my @auth_default_permissions to 1,0,0,0,0 and my $auth_no_authenticaion = 0. I created a link on the page and set the url to server.com/cgi-bin/db.cgi?db=default&uid=default&view_records=1&AE=Jonathan+Fisher, so it would list all forms that contain Jonathan Fisher as the AE, but everytime I try to run it, it just takes me to the Login page. How do I get around this?

Make sure you have $auth_allow_default set to 1.

$auth_allow_default = 1;

My problem is an extension of this... see below:

To MRMEAT's msg you replied:

"Make sure you have $auth_allow_default set to 1.

$auth_allow_default = 1; "

....with this enabled, how can I login as admin or any OTHER user via URL without changing this setting back to "0"?

Simply access:



That will prompt you to login into DBMAN.

Actually, no.
With $auth_allow_default = 1; it logs in as guest since $auth_allow_default = 1;

P.S. for better resolution, please reference my NEW POST dated today titled "Logging in via URL"

Ah...yes...if you go directly to db.cgi without parameters assigned, you WILL be able to login, trust me!
