function LogonUser(
    userName : String, 
    password : String, 
    authority : String
) : boolean

Parameters

  • userName
    Type: System.String
    The name associated with the credentials.
  • password
    Type: System.String
    The password associated with the credentials.
  • authority
    Type: System.String
    Optional. The specific authority to use to authenticate a user (for example, a Windows domain).

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean

Remarks

Your implementation of LogonUser should validate your report server users against a store of user names and passwords. For example, if you were using a Forms-based custom security extension, you might implement LogonUser to verify user names and passwords stored securely in a configuration file or a database table.
