How to force BI to use browser-based login instead of webpage login

[JLu]

I am currently trying to recreate this type of login in BI.
By using this type of login, I am able to embed BI in Grafana
This is hosted on "Machine 1"




On "Machine 2", I keep getting the web-based login of BI.
And embedding it toGrafana give me a 'refused to connect' page



Is there a way to force BI to not redirect it to the web-based login?

This might help.

Go to Settings > Web Server > Advanced > Limit Access by IP Address

If you put ^192.168.0.* (obviously using the subnet you are trying to connect from) then it will allow access, without a password, to UI3 from anyone attempting to connect to UI3 while on that subnet.

^^If this does not work straight away then you may need to also create an account named "Admin". Give this account the appropriate permissions for what you are wanting to accomplish. Click the HELP button on that page to be directed to the User Manual for more information.

You can also create a user with the desired privileges (not admin, for example) and login to UI3 with authentication in the URL:

In BI settings => "Web server" => "Advanced", UNcheck "Use secure session keys and login page".

Then use URL such as "http://BI-server-IP:BI-port?user=yourusername&pw=yourpassword"

You can customize the URL with fullscreen, camera group, etc. See UI3's "Help" => "More Topics" => "URL Parameters"

A login to fullscreen would be "http://BI-server-IP:BI-port?maximize=1&user=yourusername&pw=yourpassword"

Thanks, this did the trick
