XFA Pdf form call secure webservice without prompt for password

[tgsoft]

Hi,

We are using XFA forms within the company. We have created many (400+) interactive forms with fields to fill manually.

Now the business would like to lookup account details. They want user to be able to enter account number and then lookup details through webservice.

The webservice is created on HOST/CICS and in COBOL. We need security on HTTPS and we cannot accept that the user is prompted for password.

Our security department state that normal practice is to use KERBEROS token that gets authenticated later - is that possible with Adobe Reader??

Have anyone developed this functionality within XFA forms and Adobe Reader?

Thanks in advance,

Reader can make Web Service calls but the form must be Reader Extended by LiveCycle Server to allow this. It does support secure web service calls but it does uid/pwsd or certificate authentication. Note that the web service can only return simple types. Objects cannot be returned.
