Can Navigate 1.5 be configured WITHOUT Single Sign On (SSO)?

Hi

Has anyone successfully installed Navigate 1.5 without PingFederate SSO? All documentation I found includes the steps to configure PingFederate configuration for SSO.

As I am trying this on Dev server, I am trying to skip the SSO.

When I test the services on ptc-windchill-demo thing, I get the results. But when I access the apps that use the same service, no results are showing up.

I also tried the REST URL generated in Runtime Integration window when we use the app. That gives the results when accessed in stand alone browser.

Does Navigate 1.5 without SSO?

Thanks

Hello, Mahesh.

Per the ThingWorx Navigate Installation and Configuration Guide, PingFederate is supported but is not a requirement.

What kind of errors are the apps returning?

Hi Craig

PTC confirmed that SSO is required for multi user setup. I am able to access windchill using 'Fixed' authentication type where single user will be used for Windchill connection for all of the Thingworx users. Their recommendation is to bypass SSO only incase of Demo/PoCs. Otherwise, SSO with PingFederation is required.

Thanks

Hi Mahesh

The install & config document only gives details for "Navigate with pingfederate SSO". For "Fixed" authentication what are the values to be configured for the following in

Authentication Type : Fixed (instead of SSO)

Authorization Server ID : blank ??

Authorization Server Scopes : none ??

(as per doc: Under Authorization Server Scopes Settings, type your scope in the Scope box. This is the WINDCHILL SCOPE that you registered with Ping Federate)

HTTP Connector Connection Settings :

username & password - Windchill login username & password ??

(as per doc: Username and Password—Leave these boxes blank. The credentials are provided by your OAuth tokens)

Base URL : https://<Windchill Hostname>:Port/Windchill ??

(as per doc : https://<Windchill Hostname>:Port/Windchill/oauth)

Appreciate any relevant info/documentation on configuring Navigate 1.5 without SSO

Thanks
