To set your authentication mode:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Web Services/Security/Authentication.
- In the Mode drop-down menu, select the method clients use for authentication. The default value is Username Token Profile. You can select one of the following:
- Username Token Profile: Oracle recommends using this authentication mode. It defines how a web service client application can supply a user name and an optional password in the message request that the web service server can use to authenticate the requester's identity.
- SAML Token Profile: Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) defines an XML-based mechanism for exchanging messages that contain security information in the form of assertions.
- Cookies: This option requires you to call the Authentication service Login operation to establish a session and obtain a cookie before you can use any other P6 web service.
- OWSM: This option lets you use Oracle Web Services Manager to manage P6 EPPM Web Services security policies and to monitor authentication and authorization attempts.
Notes:
- See the P6 EPPM Web Services Programming Guide for more information.
- Changes to this setting require you to restart the P6 server.
