Servigistics InService Customization > Customizing the Login Page for InService > Configuring Authentication in Servigistics InService > Configuring Servigistics InService for a Form-Based Authentication

By default, Servigistics InService displays the following dialog box for the basic authentication mechanism to enter authentication information:

You can configure Servigistics InService to use form-based authentication.

Follow these steps to use form-based authentication:

1. Open the web.xml file located in the directory <INS_HOME>/InS_SW/SW/Applications/Windchill.ear/codebase.war/WEB-INF.

2. Locate the following default code for the basic authentication mechanism in the web.xml file:

<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>InService</realm-name>
</login-config>

3. Replace the code you located in step 2 with the following code:

<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login/login.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/login/loginFailed.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>

4. Run the following command from a Windchill shell to propagate the form-based authentication properties:

xconfmanager -s wt.auth.form.enabled=true -t codebase/wt.properties
xconfmanager -s wt.auth.form.loginMarker="<form method=\"POST\"
action=\"j_security_check\" id=\"login\">" -t codebase/wt.properties
xconfmanager -s wt.auth.form.loginSuccessMarker="//PTC_LOGIN_SUCCESS"
-t codebase/wt.properties
xconfmanager -s wt.logout.url=$(wt.server.codebase)/InService
/delivery/ -t codebase/wt.properties
xconfmanager -p

5. Run the following command from the same shell to restart the Servigistics InService servers:

insctl stop && insctl start
