Logging in to the remote datamodule

Question:

How is the UserName and Password passed to the remote

datamodule?

Answer:

On the RemoteDataModule, drop a TDatabase and add an

automation procedure (use Edit | Add To Interface) for

login.  Make sure that the HandleShared property is True

on the TDatabase.



procedure Login(UserName, Password: WideString);

begin

  { DB = TDatabase }



  { Something unique between clients }

  DB.DatabaseName := UserName + 'DB';  

  DB.Params.Values['USER NAME'] := UserName;

  DB.Params.Values['PASSWORD'] := Password;

  DB.Open;

end;



After you have created the automation method on the

RemoteDataModule (using Edit | Add To Interface), you can

call that method using;



  RemoteServer1.AppServer.Login('USERNAME','PASSWORD');
