The Primavera Portfolio Management application can be integrated with Microsoft Windows domain authentication, such that a user, who has been authenticated by a Microsoft Windows domain controller, is automatically authenticated withPPM also. By enabling this functionality your users will not be prompted for their user names and passwords by PPM. They will be automatically logged into PPM.
Note: This feature works only for users who have logged into a Microsoft Windows domain via Windows authentication and whose Windows user name is identical to their login name in PPM. If these do not match exactly, when accessingPPM the user will be presented with the regular PPM login dialog screen, together with the message “invalid username/password”.
This topic outlines the process of enabling Integrated Windows Authentication for PPM.
