Dear Community,

 

we are planning to change the Windchill Authentication to Form Based Authentication.
Windchill is connected to the Active Directory of the customer as well.
How does the configuration look like in the tomcat settings? Does anybody have an example? 

We have entered in the server.xml the Realm entries as below (but we are not sure about how the Active Directory entry look like):

In the web.xml file:

Thanks in advance.

Hi, 

 

thanks for your response. This was more specific question which I couldn't find any solution in the PTC support page. 

We have managed to configure based on the article below. Each company has different LDAP configuration and it has to adjusted accordingly.
