Navision Single Sign On

sanjeev_baranwal

Hi All,
Please suggest me how one can simulate Single Sign On feature for Navision. Also can anyone give me some idea of what a SINGLE SIGN ON means?and how Navision works with that.I am waiting for an early response.

For explanation you could check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_sign-on.

For NAV you can use Windows-logins.
:-k But I don't know if this is simulating Single Sing On for NAV..

For me Single Sign on is that you log in just into Windows and you do not need to enter login and passwords to access another systems. It means, if you use Windows authentication in NAV, it is "Single sign on"...

Thanks Tino Ruijs,
I have gone thorugh the link.It is quite useful. Actually I want to have a link which will take the user directly to the databse (client is installed in his machine) and there should be any requirement of specifying the Database name etc. from User side. simply user is directly opening the server database and its compnay from other location.

I think you are looking for a shortcut for NAV.

You can create a shortcut and edit the target in the properties. Here's an example:
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\CSIDE Client for Microsoft
Dynamics NAV\finsql.exe ntauthentication=yes, servername=My Server,
database=My Database, company=CRONUS International Ltd., id=username

Just a tip: instead yes/no in the shortcut use the 1/0 to prevent problems with multilanguage in the client...

That's right. I recently started to use that too.
I copied this from the w1w1isql.pdf (from doc dir on product dvd).

Thanks Tino, the explanation was very useful to set diff shortcuts to access diff. databases
