    How to configure username and password from sharepoint list?

    Please excuse me if this has been answered in any earlier post that I may have overlooked. Here is the scenario; my infopath template is associated with office 365 employee list. I don't have sharepoint plans for everyone so I am going to give anonymous login. The objective is to permit valid users to view their personal details. So, employee needs to enter user name and password then click on login button to confirm the validation from list. If this is true then form takes us to another view where details can be seen. Can someone guide me what rules do I need to fit-in between Main fields and Secondary? I am using sharepoint online/Infopath 2013 Thank You

    I'm not sure this will work, but have you tried creating a data connection to the list that requires special access and making sure to set the data connection to not load when the form opens but instead make it a rule action to query when they click the button. SharePoint may then prompt for user credentials.

    If that doesn't work, why not just give everyone access to the list but set the permissions for the individual rows in the list based on which user's data is in it. In other words, remove all permissions except for that user. Then, you could use a pin and set credentials in the UDCX file for the list to query it with the master account and set a field equal to the pin and have them lookup the row based on username and pin. We've done that before for electronic signatures where we want to load a signature image into the form based on the username and pin.

    Yet another option would be to find an app that logs in the user (not sure if one exists) and create a page that has two web parts - one for InfoPath form and the other for the login. Use web part connection to pass values between the web parts so that the InfoPath form requeries when it gets an input from the login web part. That should also work.

    One of those options should do the trick.

    Re: How to configure username and password from sharepoint list?

    Hi, Thanks Step one i did try not sure why the conditions don't execute (mapped between main and secondary data fields). Step Two, permission wont work for non-share point users this is why everyone from that group has to use universal login before validating their U/P for status check from another emp list. Step Third, trying to figure out to do that. Any thoughts. Thanks in advance Regards Shane
