Description
- Is there an API to support Form Based Authentication (FBA) and Single Sign On (SSO)
- Does J-Link method AuthenticateBrowser() or Toolkit function ProBrowserAuthenticate() support FBA and/or SSO
- Is it possible for an asynchronous application (J-Link / VB API) to gain access to Windchill CAD Objects through Creo without using a method like AuthenticateBrowser() when Windchill server is set-up with Form Based Authentication (FBA) and Single Sign On (SSO)
- Creo VB API function IpfcBaseSession::AuthenticateBrowser() fails with exception even after enabling FBA / SSO in Windchill
- J-Link API RegisterServer() throws pfcExceptions$XToolkitInvalidDir exception after enabling FBA / SSO in Windchill
- Is it possible for an asynchronous application (J-Link / VB API) to gain access to Windchill CAD Objects through Creo without using a method like AuthenticateBrowser() when Windchill server is set-up with OAuth2.0 using OKTA
- Login failed when using PROWT_AUTH_MODE=PROWT_AUTH_UNATTENDED to bypass authentication in an SSO environment
