Configuring Login and Authentication Settings to Use P6 for Android

Follow these steps to start the app for the first time. When you return to the app after working in other apps, the last page you were on will appear. Once you configure these settings, you won't need to perform these steps again unless your SSO cookies expire. If your cookies expire, you will need to enter your user name and password again.

Note:

You may need to activate your device's VPN feature to access your company's deployment of P6. Contact your administrator for more information.

To start the app:

  1. On your device's Home screen, tap P6 Team Member for iOS App Icon P6.
  2. On the Welcome to P6 Team Member page, slide the Single Sign On (SSO) switch to either ON or OFF.

    Note:

    Team Member Web Services supports LDAP, Native, or SSO mode. Your administrator will select the authentication mode when they configure P6.

  3. If you turn SSO on:
    1. Tap the URL field and enter the URL to your server (for example, http://server:port/p6tmws).

      Note:

      You will need to specify the server name and port number in the URL.

    2. Tap Authenticate.
    3. Enter your SSO username and password.
  4. If you turn SSO off:
    1. Tap the URL field and enter the URL to your server (for example, https://server:port/p6tmws).
    2. Enter your P6 username.
    3. Enter your P6 password.
    4. Tap Sign In.

      Note:

      • You will need to configure Email Statusing Service separately. See the P6 EPPM System Administration Guide.
      • P6 for iOS supports SSL (https) or HTTP only when it has a certificate signed by a trusted authority.
      • P6 for Android requires SSL (https) when you are not using SSO authentication. If you are using SSO authentication, you can use HTTP or HTTPs protocols. HTTPS requires a valid certificate from an Android trusted certifying authority.

Tip:

  • To access server information in the app—which includes the SSO setting, the URL to access the server, and your user name—navigate to the app menu, and then tap Settings.
  • For more information on the different types of authentication modes (Single Sign-On, Native, or LDAP), see "Authentication Modes in P6 EPPM" in the P6 EPPM System Administration Guide.
  • You can modify the settings for the app from the Settings button in the app. See the P6 Team Member User's Guide for more information.
