Enabling password entry for data sources

Beginning with RtReports 5.1, password entry is disabled for relational data sources to enforce security. AVEVA advises against enabling and using this feature. Instead, we recommend using password-less options for connecting to relational databases, such as SSPI. Existing relational database data source connections have not been modified and should continue to function the same.

To re-enable the ability to use a password for relational database data source connections, navigate to the %PIHOME%\RtReports\web.config and change the value of DisableCredentialBasedAuthentication to false. IIS restart is required.
