Agent Windchill RV&S Security
The Agent Windchill RV&S provides a number of different security features to help you keep your system safe and secure.
The security environment for the Agent Windchill RV&S has a server-based security scheme for authenticating users and authorizing access based on permissions.
A security scheme includes two elements:
• security realm
• transport protocol
The security realm is the repository where user accounts are stored. The following types of realms are supported:
• OpenLDAP server
• Microsoft Active Directory Services (ADS)
• Netscape Directory Server
• RFC 2307-based schemas on all supported servers
• Novell Directory Services
• UNIX
• Flat File
 |
OpenLDAP, Netscape, RFC 2307, and Novell security realms are all defined as ldap security realms in the pre configured security scheme definitions in the security.properties file.
|
The transport protocol is the protocol used for sending passwords and data over a connection. It can be one of the following:
• send over a clear connection (clear in security.properties)
• encrypt passwords and data before sending (private in security.properties)
Each security realm uses a single authentication domain. The authentication domain is the mechanism used to confirm your credentials. The following authentication domains are supported:
• Kerberos
• LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
• UNIX
• Flat File
Security schemes are defined in:
installdir/config/properties/security.properties
where installdir is the path to the directory where you installed the Agent Windchill RV&S.
Security schemes based on the supported realms are pre configured in the security.properties file. If you have special security scheme requirements, contact Support technique de PTC at the following location:
