Re: [Summary-Talk] Identifier vs Username Passwords

[Kerry <kerry@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am running 2.5.3 on OSX client.

I normally put username and passwords on all the reports and was passing 
the username and password through the URL as a link in our clients 
control panel. I have been getting complaints that the URLs are no 
longer working with Internet Explorer 6.0 (all other browsers seem to 
work fine safari, netscapae, firefox etc). So instead of using username 
and passwords I thought I could erase them and place in identifiers to 
access the reports as in http://www.domain.com:9000/~client. Now when I 
tested this for one client another client called and said that the 
report that I just changed showed up in his Available Overviews which is 
username/password protected.

My question is can I get away from username and passwords and use
identifiers to access the reports?
