Hi all,
I am connecting to ThingWorx 8.5 foundation server using Java SDK. I need to validate the credentials while connecting via ConnectedThingsClient. If the validation fails, I need the proper error message showing exact reason. i.e. I am expecting separate exceptions like server down, server is not responding, invalid username/password, connection timeout.
But ConnectedThingsClient.connect() throws a generic Exception object, with error message regarding the Connection Timed out.
I came across the documentation for v6.0.9, where they have mentioned some entension classes like - ThingworxBasicAuthenticator , Authenticator and CustomAuthenticator etc. The link https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_hc/thingworx_8_hc/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx/Help/Composer/Security/Authenticators/AuthenticatorSampleExtensionConfiguration.html explains the usage of ThingworxBasicAuthenticator as well as shows how to write a custom authenticator. This is the official documentation for the class - http://support.ptc.com/cs/help/thingworx_hc/thingworx_6.0_hc/index.jspx?id=ID2781167211&action=show
I do not want to implement a custom authenticator, as the basicAuthenticator would be enough for my requirement. But the classes are not found in the thingworx sdk jars 8.5.
I found an extension jar for version 8.3, but it also doesn't contain these classes and the class AuthenticationUtitlities is abstract.
Can some one please tell me where would I find the jar having these classes.
Thank you,
Vaishnavee
