By default, the Display Builder, Display Viewer Application, Display Viewer Applet present a login dialog at startup. In the Display Server, the login is disabled by default and must be enabled in the Display Servlet. The default user name and password are:

 User Name: admin
 Password: admin

Enterprise RTView supports single sign-on. By securely passing on authenticated user information, single sign-on allows users to login once and gain access to all the resources they have permission to. Use the rtvuser, rtvpass, rtvrole and rtvsign parameters to provide user login information and bypass the login dialog. See command line parameters to setup the Display Builder and the Display Viewer, applet parameters for a Rich Client Browser deployment, and Display Server URL for a Thin Client Browser deployment. The Display Server also supports single sign-on through the servlet container or custom JavaScript.

The login validates the user name and password against the defined users. Each user must be assigned at least one role. If the user has multiple roles, a drop down menu of roles will be added to the dialog once the password has been validated. The role definitions control access to displays. In addition, the user name and password from the Enterprise RTView login can also be passed into data sources that have the Use Client Credentials option enabled. NOTE: Some data sources do not support this feature. For information on Application Options for your data source, refer to the Data Sources section of this documentation.

A Security tab is added to the Application Options dialog if you are logged in with the admin role that allows you to disable the login. This dialog also allows you to configure the location of the user and role definition files. You cannot disable the login from the Security tab for the Display Server. This must be configured in the Display Servlet.
