Question

How to authenticate users from 2 active directories?

Hello,



Currently we authenticate our internal users through the corporate internal active directory. This is managed in the app-windchill-auth.conf file under


<authnprovideralias ldap=" windchill-administrativeldap=">
AuthLDAPURL ldap://<internal>
AuthLDAPBindDN<userid>


AuthLDAPBindPassword<password>


We also have an external active directory in the DMZzone which authenticates externalvendors/suppliers.Is it possible in Windchill to include that external AD too within the conf file, so that Windchill can authenticate users from internal or external. If so, how can I achieve that?



Regards,

Rajesh Balasundaram

Configure the other connection in Apache, the provider alias, then for each
"path" using the first alias, put a space and add the later. Really follow
the model on a 9.1 box for how it handles AdministrativeLdap and
EnterpriseLdap and add one more. It will authenticate in the order they are
specified, which may be useful for volume.
