Single Sign-on Authentication
Single Sign-On (SSO) can be enabled in ThingWorx to allow mashups and applications built on the platform to participate in SSO scenarios involving other PTC products. ThingWorx supports the following protocols under the “Standard” IAM architecture constraints, only for the documented examples:
For authentication
SAML 2.0
OIDC - excluding PKCE support
For Cross-domain Identity Management
SCIM (1.1, 2.0)
For authorization, the following OAuth 2.0 token flows are used:
OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow - excluding PKCE support
OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow
Our “Standard” IAM architectures Central Auth Servers:
PingFederate
Microsoft Entra ID – serves as both the Central Auth Server and the Identity Provider.
Azure AD B2C — serves as a Central Auth Server. May serve as Identity Provider.
AD FS – serves as both the Central Auth Server and the Identity Provider.
For more information about “Standard” IAM architectures, refer to PTC IAM policy.
This section describes the configuration steps for enabling SSO in ThingWorx. You may need to consult with other PTC product administrators and identity provider administrators in your organization to configure other applications that are configured for SSO.
For more information, refer to PTC IAM help center.
For support, refer IAM support site.
