Authentication Using HTTP Cookies (On-Premises Only)

If the P6 EPPM Web Services Server has been configured to use HTTP cookies for authentication from the Primavera P6 Administrator, you must call the Authentication service Login operation to establish a session and obtain a cookie before you can use any other P6 web service.

See Authentication Service in the P6 EPPM Web Services Reference Manual for additional information about using the Authentication service and the Login operation.

To configure the server to authenticate user credentials using HTTP cookies:

Launch the Primavera P6 Administrator and log in.
In the Primavera P6 Administrator, click the Configurations tab, and expand Web Services/Security.
In the Security node, click Authentication:
On the Mode list, select Cookies.
Click Save.
