Crystal Report Credentials Prompt after deployment

Question

I am Publishing crystal reports on remote server using the following code. when i try to run the crystal report page Crystal report viewer prompt me for database info. As the published crystal report were created using development server. In my crystal report i was using OLEDB ADO Connection

MyRepository _MyRepository = new MyRepository();            
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection myConnection = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection();
myConnection.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConnStr"].ConnectionString;
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand MyCommand = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("dbo.spMySP");
MyCommand.Connection = myConnection;
MyCommand.Parameters.Add("@PositionID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = (cmbPositions.SelectedValue == "" ? 0 : Convert.ToInt32(cmbPositions.SelectedValue));
MyCommand.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter MyDA = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter();
MyDA.SelectCommand = MyCommand;
ASale _DS = new ASale();
MyDA.Fill(_DS, "dbo.spMySP");
rptSale oRpt = new rptSale();
oRpt.SetDatabaseLogon("sa", "mypass");
oRpt.SetDataSource(_DS);
oRpt.SetParameterValue(0, "param1");
oRpt.SetParameterValue(1, "param2");
oRpt.SetParameterValue(2, "param3" );
oRpt.SetParameterValue(3, (cmbPositions.SelectedValue == "" ? 0 : Convert.ToInt32(cmbPositions.SelectedValue)));
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = oRpt;

I need to change setDatabaseLogon so that it can also access credentials from web.config — Tassadaque

HI,

When you develop your report, do you use Windows authentication to login to the database to build the report?

Maybe you can try to open the report again and try to update your database set up on the crystal report. E.g. by using the same login information your use on your code.

What I normally do is to put the database server name and the database name on to the code as well E.G. _CReportDoc.SetDatabaseLogon(username, pw, ServerName, DB)

Not sure if it could help
