Panorama Necto, The Most Secure, Centralized & State of the Art Business Intelligence System

1. Necto 16 Training
Necto SDK and Single Sign-on

2. Objectives
• By the end of this lesson you will be able to:
• Use the Necto SDK
• Know what Single Sign On (SSO) is for Necto
• Create or modify an SSO file (database if needed).
• Debug C# and ASPX files

3. Agenda
• Where is the SDK and how can I use it?
• Getting Microsoft Community 2015 (Free Tool)
• Implementing SSO
• Debugging SSO

4. Overview
• To allow Necto to be used within your corporate portal or other
wrapper you can utilize SSO
• SSO is called using a URL from your portal/wrapper to call a
Necto aspx page
• To edit and debug the aspx page you will require
• Microsoft Community 2015 or other debugging tool
• Medium level knowledge of C# and JavaScript
• IIS debugging knowledge

5. Necto SDK
• The Necto SDK can be found here:
• http://<yourservername>:4444/panorama/api/Necto_SDK.htm
• SDK can be used to feed information in to Necto through
Necto.htm or through other files in component mode such as
.aspx files
• Call SDK files using URL’s, with additional parameters
• http://<yourservername>:4444/panorama/novaview.
UserLoginDB2.aspx?user_name=a1&password=1234

6. SDK Rendering Parameters
• Alias, the unique Id of a Workboard
• Slicers, sliceing security that can be performed
• User, If current user is admin you can impersonate, or load as a
specific user with an ASID
• Security mode, Windows, Mixed, Necto, None
• Language defined as he, en, it

• TaskPane, pane to show on start i.e. WORKBOARDS
• FirstWB, first WB to show
• Menus, Show or hide menu’s by ID

7. Implementing SSO
• Necto is installed to be able to work with SSO
• Create an *.aspx file in the ‘…PanoramaE-BINovaview’ folder
• Novaview is an Application within the IIS system
• The file can be called and executed from a URL to run Necto
following the SDK and the example files I will provide
• Necto can take the parameters from the calling program but
also get more from a database

8. Getting Microsoft Community 2015
• Got to https://www.visualstudio.com/
• You can get the full developer suite here for free, so that you
can code, attach to a process and debug a web app
• Download install and restart your machine…

9. Debugging an IIS application
• Open Visual Studio 2015 using ‘run as Administrator’
• Got to File -> Open -> Web Site
• Select Local IIS
• Choose Novaview (it is an application in the tree) which the wizard will
see as http://localhost/Panorama/Novaview
• Press ‘Open’
• Go to Debug -> Novaview Properties
• Choose ‘Start Options’ then in ‘Specific Page’ enter similar to the
following
• UserLoginDB2.aspx?user_name=a1&password=1234
• Press Start to start debugging

10. Work through Exercise
• Add this file to the Necto server
• Debug change the password for the database
• string connectionString = "server=vpc-james2olap;database=Data
security;uid=datasecuritylogin;pwd=MyPassword;connection
timeout=30";
• Change the first Workboard to a real Workboard in your system
• AttachParameter('FirstWB','b5829046-4137-46d1-9378-
f5ad56ed92d7');

11. Work through Exercise
• Create a database called ‘Data Security’ and create a table
called ‘Sheet1$’ and columns similar to the following:
• Debug using the steps in the previous slides
