YellowFin integration in ASP.NET

Ahmad shared this question ago

Answered

Hello,

i have been trying to intergrate YellowFin in a sprate ASP.NET project, iam using the Javascript API V3

and exactly this;

yellowfin.init().then(() => {
yellowfin.loadDashboard({
dashboardUUID: '71858adf-3816-42e9-87cd-79f1bb2be637', 
element: document.querySelector('div#reportDiv'),
});

});

but then the login window always pops up and the user wont be able to see the dashboard without logging in,

/59483497c8b1fb1f8c3b88b24d656790

My question:

i want the user to be logged in already and able to see the Dashboard right away and dose not have to log in everytime when starts the webapp, how do i make a user login using Code? i tried almost everything so far, nothing worked for me

The same question

Hi Ahmad,

Thanks for reaching out.

I believe there to be two main options here:

-create a Guest Account enabled so that a login is not required. You can read more about this on the relevant Wiki entry here.

-input user details in your load dashboard API call. For example:

window.yellowfin.loadDashboardAPI().then(() => { 
    window.yellowfin.dashboards.loadDashboard({ 
        dashboardUUID: "c520108f-7635-4cf8-b055-a69e4bc16b83",
        element:  document.querySelector('#testDiv'),
        username: 'admin@yellowfin.com.au',
        password: 'test'

You may also get it to work with making your script src something like <script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost:9292/JsAPI/v3?token=<%=rs.getLoginSessionId()%"></script>; and the call:

window.yellowfin.loadDashboardAPI().then(() => { 
    window.yellowfin.dashboards.loadDashboard({ 
        dashboardUUID: "c520108f-7635-4cf8-b055-a69e4bc16b83",
        element:  document.querySelector('#testDiv'),
        token: '<%=rs.getLoginSessionId()%>'

Please give one of these options a try and let me know how goes.

Mike

Hi Mike

thanks for your answer and sorry it took a bit to replay.

i tried both of the solutions but sadly didnt work for me iam still getting the Login window, i tried

    <script src="http://vm-yfb3at-1:9050/JsAPI/v3"></script>;
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.js"></script>;

    <script>
        window.yellowfin.loadDashboardAPI().then(() => {
            window.yellowfin.dashboards.loadDashboard({
                dashboardUUID: '71858adf-3816-42e9-87cd-79f1bb2be637',
                element: document.querySelector('#reportDiv'),
                username: 'admin@yellowfin.com.au',
                password: 'test'
            });
        });
    </script>

and for the other method, i used postman to get the SSO token and hardcoded it there just for testing

using the SSO would be the best way for me if i can only get it to work, tho i did try some of these ways with the normal javascript API and most of them worked but with the Version 3 i'm always having trouble logging into YellowFin with code in a 3rd party webapp.

iam also using ASP.NET i dont know if that would change something.

also importent to mention that i have 3 different organisations, could it be a problem that the API dosent know on which organisation he should logon ? because its not given in the code.

is there a way in the API to define on which org should be logon ?

and also Yellowfin instance is on a sparte Server but its local Thanks again !

Hi Ahmad,

I'm not sure whether this has something to do with the ASP.NET integration itself - I believing Consulting would be better situated to assist with something like this. That said, I'm not able to find csg-ms in our client information. Can you please supply your info.jsp file? This can be accessed by appending '/info.jsp' to your login URL. For example, localhost:8080/info.jsp.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Ahmad,

I'm going to go ahead and mark this one as Answered since I haven't heard back from you, but if you have further questions or concerns on this, if you respond (along with your info.jsp page), it will re-open the case and put it back in my queue and I'll be happy to help.

Hi Ahmad,

I see this is currently being discussed with your Account Manager and I believe Vienna Advantage as well. Regardless, this will be continued by someone outside of Support.

As such, I'm going to go ahead and close out this support case, but if you have any further questions or concerns (or don't hear back from anyone else in the next day or two), you can respond here and I will continue trying to facilitate this conversation for you.

Regards,

Mike
