Trusted host is deprecated yes but a replacement has not been provided. Ok to use that for now.  You can remove the password from the auth.properties and the CAD worker should be trusted.

In the WVS guide here, you can refer to:
https://www.ptc.com/support/-/media/support/refdocs/Windchill_PDMLink/13_1/WCVisualizationServicesGuide_13_1_2_0.pdf?sc_lang=en&source=search

auth.properties on Page 64
Trusted Host Mode Page 96

 

This describes both trusted host with $user variable https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r13.1.2.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/WVSPrintManagement/WVSVisualizationFormbasedAuthentication.html


This describes the Client Credential Grant method:

It seems the trusted host is deprecated. Using windchill 12.1

How doe we register the url in server management and use basic authentication instead of SSO?

Depending on which version of Windchill you are on, it will still work. I can confirm it works on 13.0.2.x. It uses an already open URL for basic auth that enforces access via the trustedhosts configuration. Is there a reason you need basic auth instead of the $user variable method? Obviously with the Client Credential Grant method you will need to configure Windchill for OAuth.
