Windchill Configuration Steps
After your form-based authentication solution is ready for use, complete the following configuration steps:
1. Determine if configuration changes are needed for Windchill programs such as the visualization services, desktop integration, and gateways such as Cadence Allegro Design Workbench.
2. Determine if current customizations involving Info*Engine need to be updated to support your form-based authentication solution.
3. Determine if changes are needed in any third-party product to support form-based authentication.
4. Update the web server in the Windchill environment to remove constraints.
5. Configure Windchill properties to use the form-based authentication solution:
◦ Set the wt.auth.form.enabled property in wt.properties to true. This setting enables form-based authentication and updates the WindchillQuick Links menu to include the Log Off menu option.
◦ Set the wt.auth.form.submitUrl property in wt.properties to the URL used by clients to submit credentials for form-based authentication.
◦ 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 Windchill base URL. Using the default URL assumes that the log off consists terminating the servlet session and sending a logout event to Windchill auditing services. Depending on the form-based authentication solution you have implemented, you may need different logout actions which then would require a different URL.
