Web Preview - Login Not Working?

Greetings. I am a new Domino developer, and I am working on getting through the learning curve. I am having troubles currently with two things (seperate posts).

For this one, I would like to address the “Login” for the “Preview In Browser” functionality of Designer. When I preview my database in the web browser, it opens fine. However, I have some code that is dependent upon the user login. When I add the “&login” to the end of the URL and try to login with my Notes ID, it does not work. I have tried logging in with my short id (a random character user id assigned to all of us), as well as the login ID I use to access the Notes client. Neither seems to work. I am sure this is related to some ignorance on my part, but I need to figure this out before I post this database on the company Domino servers for “production”. Any and all help would be most appreciated. Thank you!

You won’t be able to authenticate locally – there’s no mechanism for HTTP authentication in the client installation. (There is an exception, Domino Off Line Services, but it won’t be of help to you for design testing.) If you need to test with authentication, you’ll have to test on a Domino server.
