Authentication Key or Re-Enter Authentication Key Note: This field is available for the Site Administrator, only, and the Site Administrator is the only person who can change the value. | The Authentication Key provides a means of gaining access to the company that you are signing in to. This key was set up at the time the company was configured. For Unifier Cloud customers, the Cloud Administrators will need to enter a unique key to manage the cloud administration services. The current key is stored in an encrypted format and can be changed as needed. If a key has already been assigned to the company, it will not be displayed in the field; the field will appear blank. Re-enter the key in the following field to confirm it. This field is not available on the General tab, for the company administrator. The company administrator must access the Integration Users sub-node to access the authentication key. Read "Additional information about the Authentication Key" below for more details. |

See the instructions under "Set Up a Bid Management Account in Primavera Unifier" in the Primavera Unifier Administration Help. |

By default, the URL fields will be empty with a place holder text to show the format. There will be no link shown in a project activity sheet when a user does not enter any URL in company properties. |
Changing the Authentication Key
For integration users, the company administrator can access the authentication key value by way of the Integration Users sub-node (Company Workspace > Admin mode > User Administration node > Integration Users).
For users who are using Unifier 19.x:
You (the company administrator) need to create a new integration user in order to change the authentication key.
You need to use the following format to create the integration user:
User Name - $${shortname}
Password - {Desired authentication Key}
If you have upgraded to Unifier 19.7, Unifier will not create $${shortname} integration, by default. In such case, Oracle recommends that you use new token-based REST APIs, instead of legacy SOAP and old REST APIs.
If you have not upgraded to Unifier 19.7, but you have upgraded to Unifier 19.6, Unifier creates $${companyshortname} automatically, by way of the migration process, with the password that is the same as the original authentication code.
To access the authentication value:
- In the Integration Users log click on a customer row to open the Update User page.
- In the Update User page, scroll to see the Security block.
- In the Security block, the value in the User Name field shows the company name (for example: $$company short name).
- In the Security block, the value in the Password field shows the existing authentication key.
Note: The Site Administration can change the authentication key, also.
For users who are upgrading to Unifier 19.x:
As a part of upgrading process, Unifier will automatically create an integration user by:
Using the company short name as the integration user.
Using the existing authentication key as the password.
That is to state:
User Name - $${shortname}
First Name - $${shortname}
Last Name - $${shortname}
Time Zone - Company timezone as seen in the Background Jobs
Language - Company language as seen in the Internationalization node
If a company does not have an authentication key, then the integration user will not be created.
If a customer already has an integration user $${shortname}, then Unifier will leave it unchanged.
The legacy SOAP and old REST APIs do not access the integration permissions.
For this created integration user, all legacy permissions will be checked.
