Orion Report Scheduler - no UserName/Password in report URL

Question

I have two schedule reports setup which emails out fine with the attached PDF and URL link to the report. So when I click on the URL link the email I get the SolarWinds logon web page. I do have the "Orion Web Login" tab setup with a SolarWinds account "guest" and a password. Not sure what other combo or setting I need to change.

Like I said, the emails come fine with report attachment and URL. Click on URL and get the logon page. If I use the guest account with current password, it goes right in to the report. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hello,
"Orion Web Login" tab is to specify credentials that are used when generating report. They are not appended to URL that you receive in email for security reasons.

If you want to add credentials to URL you can do it manually. When you are defining "Web Page to Retrieve", append "&AccountID=YOUR_GUEST_ACCOUNT&password=YOUR_GUEST_PASSWORD" to defined URL. This will create URL that will use specified credentials to log-in automatically.

However you have to disable "Send Orion Username / Password in URL" otherwise report generator will append another pair of credentials and will not be able to log-in.
