How to ask for database credentials from the user, before he/she can view a Crystal Report?
Does a new dialog need to be created with textbox controls of database login and password?
Or is there some feature in CR inbuilt for this task?

If you are talking about how to do it outside of Crystal Reports, you need to create your own custom prompt for the reports. The default viewer will not do it automatically.
One full-featured commercial product that does this is Report Runner (http://www.reportrunner.com).
