This section describes security considerations you should be aware of when working with the reporting module.
On Windows, the authentication token used for login operations is exposed as a URL parameter in Internet Explorer’s address bar when the user opens a PDF file for a report. This happens because a link to a PDF file is handled by the browser, not by JavaScript.
Although you might want to copy and paste the link to a report PDF, you should not do this. If the token has not yet expired and the user has not logged out, the receiver of the link, who might not be a legitimate user, is able to access the reporting module by using the token given to the legitimate user.
IMPORTANT:Do not try to copy and send links within the reporting module, because this action might potentially expose your login information.
