The wt.properties property that enables the use of a form-based authentication solution is wt.auth.form.enabled.

By default, the use of a form-based authentication solution is disabled. To enable it, use the xconfmanager utility to set the property to true. For example from a Windchill shell, enter:

By enabling the use of a form-based authentication solution, you also enable the display of the Log Out menu option from the PTC Arbortext Content Delivery user drop-down menu that is located at the top right corner of the PTC Arbortext Content Delivery page:

When a user selects the Log Out menu option, the default behavior is that the PTC Arbortext Content Delivery servlet session end. After a user has logged off using the Log Out menu option, the page executes the PTC Arbortext Content Delivery base URL and, because the user is no longer logged in, the URL presents the user with a login form to allow the user to log back in.

You can change this default log off behavior by selecting different configuration settings in your form-based authentication solution and by setting a different URL in the wt.logout.url property inwt.properties. In the case of a form-based authentication solution that is not based on the servlet session (and thus whose authentication session is not terminated by terminating the servlet session), the URL set in the wt.logout.url property should be one that causes a logout for the current authentication session with your form-based authentication solution.
