Windchill & ThingWorx login using one Corporate LDAP ?

[SiddharthSomani]

Folks,

Disclaimer : I don't yet have an installed PTC Navigate instance, so this is coming out of imagination.

As I read from PTC Navigate User's Manual, we are required to setup separate instances for Windchill Server & ThingWorx.

I was wondering if both can connect to same Corporate LDAP being used across a company.

Also, can we set different roles for same Corporate LDAP user, in Windchill & ThingWorx resp. ?

If Navigate is using the ThingWorx Windchill Extension, you normally configure this so that ThingWorx uses the Windchill LDAP to perform authentication.

See section around p29 of http://support.ptc.com/WCMS/files/164699/en/WCTWXExtension.pdf for details.

Thanks for your answer & attached document.

I hope to have an instance early next week where I can try out this configuration.
