I've been working on a custom input for that feeds my stored process and recently I added the ability to upload a file. As a result, my previous approach that used the _username and _password parameters seems to be broken. http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/stpug/61271/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a003259930.htm
Here's a brief history of what I have done and where I am stuck.
(I can post more code, but hopefully someone can see what I am missing with these snippets)
Version 1 - custom input form that sends parameters through the URL
<FORM name="form" id="form" METHOD="GET" ACTION="&_URL">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" id="usernm" NAME="_username" VALUE="">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" id="pass" NAME="_password" VALUE="">
This works, but since some of my text boxes are large, I'd prefer not to use GET.
Version 2 - custom input form that sends parameters via POST
<FORM name="form" id="form" METHOD="POST" ACTION="&_URL">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" id="usernm" NAME="_username" VALUE="">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" id="pass" NAME="_password" VALUE="">
This works, but recently I was asked to add the ability to upload files. As a result, I needed to change the form enctype value.

Version 3 - custom input form that sends parameters and files via POST
<FORM name="form" id="form" METHOD="POST" ACTION="&_URL" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" id="usernm" NAME="_username" VALUE="">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" id="pass" NAME="_password" VALUE="">
<INPUT type="file" id="myfile" NAME="myfile">
After executing this, the form submit takes me to the SAS Logon Manager, which I am trying to avoid by using _username and _password. My password is encoded (I have
AllowEncodedPassword is set to true).
Does anyone know what's going on with POST when the enctype is "multipart/form-data?
Thanks.
