We post some reports on a website so that server owners can see how many patches are still needed on their server.
The server names are hyper links to the web reporting (user can then see what patches are required on their server).
If a user clicks on the hyper link, they are prompted for logon credentials.
Currently, I have set up a generic username and password for read-only access.
I would like to have users be able to just click on the hyper link and access web reports in read-only. Is that possible?

Hey KCarlini,
If you are not concerned with the security implications, you can hard-code the read-only username and password into the link:
http:
//www.myBFwebreportsServer.com:52312/webreports?Username=myusername&Password=mypassword
This will automatically log on with out prompting the user.

Are you on 7.0? You can set users as read-only under 7.0 on the users tab.
Under 6.0 read-only users need to be enabled by setting a registry key on the server:
HKLM\Software\BigFix\Enterprise Server\BESReports
o DWORD
o Set to 1 to turn on this feature, 0 to turn it off
