Is there in ThingWorx a way to get the users from an active directory (ldap) directly created and synchronized?

[ccertain]

Dear Colleagues,

Typically large customers use active directories (LDAP) to manage globally their users.

They have for example existing LDAP connections in place to PTC Windchill and Integrity in order to get the users synchronized from the LDAP to the PTC applications.

I did not find a way to do that in ThingWorx without the need to create manually the users?

Any ideas or feedback would be very appreciated

Thanks,

Christoph C.

Christoph,

We (Callisto Integration) have developed a marketplace application for automatically creating and synchronizing users within ThingWorx based on LDAP group membership.  If you would like more information about the application, please feel free to contact me at keri.wright@callistointegration.com.

Thanks,

Keri,

could you please let me know how the customer can use this extension for a ThingWorx evaluation project?

Is it free of charge or does the customer need to buy the extension?

Thanks,

Christoph

Christoph,

The extension does have a cost associated with it.  We are more than happy to demo the application for your customer, prior to buying so they understand the capabilities.

Thanks,

Keri,

I am working with Alexander Martens in this context. He told me the extension will be provided for test purpose this afternoon so that I am okay now.

We let you know how it goes on.

Thanks,
