The Credentials page of the Report Data Source smart panel gives you four options for the level of security you need for the data in your report.
- Use Windows Authentication (Integrated Security)
- Select this option when you know that any users with a valid Windows account are cleared for access to the data, and you do not want to prompt them for a user name and password.
- Use a specific user name and password
- Select this option when you want to allow only a single user name and password to access the data in the report.
- Prompt for credentials
- Select this option when there is a subset of users who can access the data. The Prompt string textbox allows you to customize the text requesting a user name and password from users.
- No credentials
- Select this option only if the data in the report is for general public consumption.

If you need to provide credentials automatically at run time, this can be done in code using the LocateCredentials event. For more information, see Credentials.
