Hello Oliver,

Thanks for quick response,

Please find the details below in blue that you are looking . Let me know if you need any other information.  

1. What version of Thingworx are you currently running? 

    ThingWorx Navigate 9.3   
2. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.

In terms of authentication and authorization where ThingWorx, Thingworx Navigate and Windchill are involved, the existing integration with PingFederate can no longer continue as the ZF Organization wide decision is to decommission Ping and replace with Azure Active Directory for all the single sign on and Authentication/Authorization needs. This means that in the following months, ZF will be planning to replace Ping with Azure completely.

Hence, it is a hard requirement that Thingworx Navigate supports Azure AD as CAS for the integration.

3. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?

The only way forward is to utilize Azure AD as CAS in the integration. PingFederate will soon be decommissioned.

Thanks

Ankit Singh
