Community Tip - When posting, your subject should be specific and summarize your question. Here are some additional tips on asking a great question. X
To setup the Single-Sign On with Windchill, we can just follow steps in Windchill extension guide. However, there is a huge problem to use "Websocket" for EMS or Edge SDKs from devices since Apache for Windchill blocks to pass "ws" or "wss" protocol. It's like a problem of a proxy server. There might be a couple of ways to avoid this issue, but I suggest to change filter-mappings for the SSO filter. When you look at the Windchill extension guide, it says that users set filters for all incoming URLs of ThingWorx by using "/*" filter mappings. Please use below settings for "web.xml" of ThingWorx server to avoid the problem that I stated above. It looks quite long and complicated, but basically the filter mappings from settings for "AuthenticationFilter" which are already defined by default except "Websocket" related urls.

<!-- Windchill Extension SSO End-->
This is fantastic! Thank you, Daniel!
After this modification is in place, simulators that communicate to TWX via websockets will work again when Windchill is configured as the Identity Provider (i.e. the Steam Sensor example from the SDK and Moritz's Excel Based Simulator).
Regards,
Steve
Daniel,
Have you updated this file for ThingWorx 7.1 yet?
Thanks,
Steve
