Answer / bighnaraj

Authentication : -

Authentication is the mechanism whereby systems may securely
identify their users. Authentication systems provide an
answers to the questions:

-> Who is the user?
-> Is the user really who he/she represents himself to be?

Authorization:-
It is the mechanism by which a system determines what
level of access a particular authenticated user should have
to secured resources controlled by the system. For example,
a database management system might be designed so as to
provide certain specified individuals with the ability to
retrieve information from a database but not the ability to
change data stored in the datbase, while giving other
individuals the ability to change data. Authorization
systems provide answers to the questions:
-> Is user X authorized to access resource R?
-> Is user X authorized to perform operation P?
-> Is user X authorized to perform operation P on
resource R?

I am working with asp.net 2005 and Crystal report 10. I have an image field on my dataset to show on Crystal report.And the image is shows dynamically from database in image field of CR. The image field is showing well on my Crystal report on its first page with all other data but when i click to open second page of CR,it does not show any data on that.I found that this is because of adding the image field on crystal report. Because when i remove the image field from the CR then it will run both the pages of CR. I am using the Page Load event to bind CR data with Database. And i have already check with the Init event to bind CR , but it still not shows the data on second page when i use image field on that. Please give solution for that.....
