Question

Is it possible to connect the API using Windows credentials? For example, if you are using SharePoint, you can send credentials using System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials which sends a "security package" or something like that with your WIndows logon credentials.

    Hello Nolin,

    I'm not sure on this, since I've never had a situation in which I could test this, but on the server, if you edit <ServerRoot>/config/client/IntegrityClientSite.rc, looking at the daemon.authenticationPolicy setting.  If this can work, I think you need to take a look at setting it to "mks.ic.common.policy.ICAuthenticatedSessionPolicy", then setting daemon.authenticationURL=<YourAuthenticationURL>.  I'm not sure what the authentication URL would be in the case of a Windows domain, though.

    If you get stuck, it may be worth opening a case.

    Regards,
    Kael

    Kael,

    I talked to our guy in IT that deals with the back end and he seems to understand this. Next week we're going to try it out so I'll let you know how that goes. One question though, what is <YourAuthenticationURL>? Is this IntegrityURL:Port/im or something like that? Or is the URL not related to Integrity?

    Thanks,

    Nolin

    The person in IT that's going to help me with this has been swamped with Windchill stuff so we haven't been able to try this out yet. We still plan on trying it out though. I'm hoping we will have it setup before the end of November though.
