PTC Arbortext Content Delivery Configuration Steps
After your form-based authentication solution is ready for use, complete the following configuration steps:
1. Determine if constraints should be removed from PTC Arbortext Content Delivery web server. See Web Server Configuration Update to Remove Constraints for more information.
2. Determine if custom filter is required to provide user name to PTC Arbortext Content Delivery. See Configure Custom Authentication Filter for more information.
3. Configure PTC Arbortext Content Delivery properties to use the form-based authentication solution:
◦ Set wt.auth.form.enabled property in the \InS_SW\SW\setup.properties file to true.
◦ Set wt.auth.form.enabled property in wt.properties to true.
◦ Set wt.auth.form.loginMarker property in wt.properties to a unique string that login form will contain.
◦ Set wt.auth.form.loginSuccessMarker property in wt.properties to a unique string that successful login response of login form will contain.
◦ Set wt.logout.url property in wt.properties to the URL you want used with the form-based authentication solution to perform a logout for the current authentication session. The default URL is the PTC Arbortext Content Delivery base URL. Using the default URL assumes that the log off consists of terminating the servlet session. Depending on the form-based authentication solution you have implemented, you may need different logout actions which then would require a different URL.
◦ Set wt.auth.form.submitUrl property in wt.properties to the URL you want used for submitting the login form.
