Datasource
|
Used to select the ProjectWise datasource to log in to. Select the list to see
the list of available datasources. If the datasource you want to log in to is
not listed, you can still log in to it (if you have permission to access it) by
typing both the server and datasource name in the Datasource field using the
following format:
servername:datasourcename
|
Authentication
|
Used to select what kind of user authentication to
use when logging in to the selected datasource:
- ProjectWise -
The default, select this option if you need to enter a user name and password,
of if you are logging in with a Windows-based account.
- Bentley
IMS - Select this option if you want to log in with your
Bentley Cloud Services credentials.
You will only see this option if the administrator has enabled Bentley IMS
authentication in the datasource.
|
User Name
|
In this field, enter the name assigned to you by
your administrator for logging in to the selected datasource. This field is not
case sensitive.
|
Password
|
In this field, enter the password assigned to you by
your administrator that corresponds to the user name for the selected
datasource. This field is case sensitive.
|
Log in
|
Clicking the Log in button logs you in to the
selected datasource using the selected authentication method and related
credentials.
|
CONNECTION client
|
Signs you in to Bentley with your
Bentley Cloud Services credentials, so you
can work with
ProjectWise projects from
ProjectWise Explorer.
This is
separate from the datasource log in, and should be done before you log in to a
datasource. If using ProjectWise authentication, you can log in to a datasource
without signing in to Bentley, however you cannot make use of
ProjectWise projects until you sign in.
This button does not appear if you are already signed in through the
CONNECTION Client.
|
Use Windows Single Sign-On for authentication
|
When
Authentication is set to
ProjectWise, turning on this option disables
the User Name and Password fields so that when you click Log in, ProjectWise will attempt to log you in to the selected
datasource using the same Windows user name and password that you used to log
in to the operating system. For Windows single sign-on to work, the following
must all be true:
- single sign-on must
be enabled in the datasource
- you must have a
Windows account in the datasource
- you must be logged
into the operating system with that same Windows account
When the above conditions are met, you will
typically only see this option (and the Log in dialog in general) when you
select the datasource and then select
. Otherwise, selecting the datasource and then
selecting
bypasses the Log in dialog altogether and logs you
in automatically using your Windows credentials.
When logging in from an integrated application that
was launched from the desktop, you will only see this option if the selected
datasource is enabled for single sign-on, and if the
Remember me option is currently off.
|
Remember me (use auto-login next time)
|
Turn this option on if you want to be automatically
logged in to the same datasource using the same log in credentials the next
time you launch this integrated application from the desktop. You will only see
this option in the Log in dialog when you are launching an integrated
application from the desktop, and only if your administrator has given you
permission to configure automatic log in for integrated applications. The
Remember me option remains disabled until you either enter a user name and
password or turn on the option,
Use Windows Single Sign-On for
authentication .
If
Use Windows Single Sign-On for
authentication is off, then the first time you turn on this
Remember me option from a particular computer, a dialog opens to inform you
that the entered password will be saved locally (it will be encrypted and
stored in the computer's registry). The dialog provides you with three options:
- Yes Always — Click
Yes Always if you want your password saved locally for this integrated
application, and you also want it saved automatically (without prompting)
whenever you turn on the Remember me option (and
Use Windows Single Sign-On for
authentication is off) in the future.
- Yes — Click Yes if
you want your password saved locally for this integrated application, but you
still want to be prompted about saving passwords the next time you turn on the
Remember me option (and
Use Windows Single Sign-On for
authentication is off) for this or another integrated application.
- No — If you click
No, you will be logged in but your password will not be saved, and you will not
be automatically logged in the next time you launch this integrated application
from the desktop.
