Native is the default mode for P6 EPPM. In Native mode, the P6 EPPM database acts as the authority and the application handles the authentication of the user who is logging into that application.
To set your HTTPS settings:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Authentication tab, select your configuration from the drop-down list.
- Select Authentication.
- In the Login Mode drop-down list, select Native.
- To configure HTTPS settings:
Note: Changes to these settings require you to restart the P6 server.
- Select Enable HTTPS if users do not use an HTTPS URL for the login page. If selected, P6 redirects the users to an HTTPS login page to complete the login process. You must enable SSL communication for the application server or web server.
Leave this option clear if you do not want users redirected to an HTTPS URL for login.
Caution: If kept as clear, the application server will receive the passwords as clear text when a user logs in to the application.
Note: If you have problems accessing the P6 application and you enabled this setting, you will need to verify that you enabled the SSL listen port on your application server and that it matches the Authentication/HTTPS/Port setting below. You should also check the WebAccessLog to ensure there is not an "SSL disabled" error message.
- In the Port field, enter the port number used for SSL. You must enter the port number only if you enable the HTTPS option.
The default value is 443.
Enter a value between 0 and 2147483647.
- Select Enable HTTPS if users do not use an HTTPS URL for the login page. If selected, P6 redirects the users to an HTTPS login page to complete the login process. You must enable SSL communication for the application server or web server.
