Hey Team,

I am using open source BI Helical Insight enterprise version 6.0 and when I try to open a report/dashboard URL by appending j_username and j_password as parameters, it doesn’t work and still shows the login page. These parameters used to work in Helical Insight version 5.2. How can I fix this?

It used to work like this earlier : https://localhost:8085/hi-ee/#/report-viewer?dir=Invoic%2FNew_Dashboard&file=Invoice_Analysis.efwdd.efwdd&mode=open&j_username=demouser&j_password=demouser

Thanks.

Hello,

Starting from Helical Insight version 6.0, the Java version has been upgraded to Java 21, and Spring Security has also been updated accordingly. Due to these changes, the parameter names j_username and j_password are no longer supported.

To resolve the issue, you should now pass your credentials using the parameter names username and password instead.

So your URL should look something like this:

https://<your-server>/hi-ee/hi.html?username=yourUsername&password=yourPassword

Let us know if you need further assistance!

Thanks.
