An administrator is responsible for setting up the workers and their publishers that are used for publishing and generating viewables on the Windchill server. The administrator can create one authentication file for each publisher, though often only one file is used. The names of authentication files are defined in the useworkerdownload value of each specific CadConvert property in wvs.properties. The out-of-the-box wvs.properties file includes the useworkerdownload property and that property identifies one authentication file named auth.properties.

Initially, each authentication file created contains user names and plain text passwords for workers that support file synchronization. For details on creating an authentication file, see the following topics:

Additionally, if you are using the Adobe Experience Manager Assembler application to modify PDF files that are stored in a Representation, you create an authentication file (such as the livecycleauth.properties) containing a user name and plain text password. Encryption of the password in this file is done using the same ant script that is used for other WVS authentication files.
