Using DTI with Form-Based Authentication
If you want to use form-based authentication with your DTI implementation, additional configuration is required.
Out-of-the-box, the DTILogin action of the connect command is defined as HTTP. In order to use form-based authentication, it must be defined as WIZARD.
This change only needs to be done once, and should be done when you are configuring the Windchill server for form-based authentication. All DTI clients implement the changes when they reconnect to the Windchill server.
1. Navigate to the following directory:
<Windchill>\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\enterprise\nativeapp\msoi\client\xml
2. Locate the following files:
◦ wtDesktop.xml
◦ wtOffice.xml
◦ wtWindows.xml
3. In each file, replace the following line:
<action serverAction="DTILogin" type="HTTP"></action>
with
<action serverAction="DTILogin" type="WIZARD"></action>
