Use the Password Protect Designer Mode option to:
Restrict access to a document script and the scripting environment. This ensures the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive scripts in a Dashboard section and when you are working with document scripts.
Enable encryption for startup, shutdown, document, and Dashboard scripts associated with Interactive Reporting document files.
You must supply a valid password to encrypt scripts. (Encrypted scripts are not functional in releases prior to 6.6.3 or 8.1.) You can still password protect an Interactive Reporting document file without encrypting any scripts associated with it.
You can define a default encryption state on the General options of Designer Options. When you create an Interactive Reporting document file, the default encryption state matches the one in Designer Options. Despite the default setting, scripts are only encrypted if the Interactive Reporting document file has a valid Design mode password.
Note: | Password Encryption accommodates user credentials that contain characters from a language other than the Windows machine locale. Password encryption extends to database passwords specified in Interactive Reporting database connection files, Interactive Reporting document files and sections. |
To password protect a script:
Select File, then Save Options, and then Password Protect Designer Mode.
In the Password field, enter the password required to open the document script.
Passwords can contain up to 38 alphanumeric characters and are case sensitive.
In the Verify Password field, retype the password and click OK.
If the password and the verification do not match, an error message is displayed.
