I have reconfigured out test Windchill instance to SSO and am getting some final errors with Navigate pulling data from Windchill. Authentication uses Windchill so I was able to see the redirect to Windchill, authenticate and I am properly authenticated. Testing view documents, I was able to search on a document, see proper returns and even a document thumbnail. This should mean I am getting a proper connection back to Windchill to retrieve data.
When I get the document details, I get back a few errors and no details appear. Same is true for the other apps for CAD data and parts (BOMS do appear).
The error is clearly shown in the webserver logs as a 401 password mismatch error:

My username appears ok (redacted), but strange that it is reporting [auth_basic:error]. Did my session get flipped to being basic authentication. Now, I do have Windchill setup with an alternate basic authentication following CS372501. Why would the auth scheme flip like this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I was almost ready to post the above when I noticed the note in the article I posted above:
Ok, I removed that configuration from my .conf file, restarted and bang, it now works. Great. I continued with the previous post to document the issue for others since it was not obvious that it was the cause when I first saw it. I still have a question as to why? I'd be curious to know what is going on behind the scenes here. Marking this closed for me.
