Auto Login using Windows Authentication  Topic is solved

Is there a way via a command line to open Jiwa automatically for a specific database using windows authentication?

For example if wanted to open Jiwa to the JiwaDemo connection it would be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Jiwa Financials\Jiwa 7\Jiwa.exe" JiwaDemo /winauto

(Or something like that)

We want users to automatically log into the application when they log on.

Thanks

Hi Clare,

No, presently we don't have a way to do that - If you have not already done so, I suggest you log an improvement request for this.

I'd like to add my vote for this (https://service.jiwa.com.au/browse/DEV-7994)

selfishly, with multiple customer databases on my development machine, it would be handy to be able to create a shortcut for each one.

But more generally, especially with integrated authentication, to be able to give users a 'Live' and 'Test' shortcut on their desktop would be quite helpful.

I've basically enabled this on my little external POS program; while it has an app.config file that it reads, you can also use the command line to specify the details. I went with four parameters of server, database, user, and password; with integrated authentication assumed if there is no username and password.

For Jiwa itself, you'd want to prompt for the credentials if the supplied ones don't work.
