How to acess password field in User table

Business Central/NAV Developers Forum

Hi,

I have a query regarding the standard User table in Navision.

Before releasing any Order Document, a Password authentication form must be prompted to the user who has login into the application. So I wanted to use the standard User table but the password in that table is in encrypted form.

So how to use that password for authentication. whether i have to create a new table…??

Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards,

Vikas

Hi Vikas,

make a copy of the User table record and validate the user input in the password field.

Now you can compare the original record password field with the field in the copy.

There is a neat trick to doing this.

Create a new Record Variable based on User table (UserPassword).

Have the user enter their password into a control on a form. Then in the new variable do something like

I have an object for it somewhere, if I can find it I’ll upload, but wont get to it for a day or so.
