User Synchronization MOD009CZ1 New from DB 39.5.11

Access path

• PLANTA link role PLANTA pulse Interfaces User Synchronization

Information

• In this module, you can
  • create (synchronize) PLANTA project users in PLANTA pulse if they are not yet available in PLANTA pulse or
  • link PLANTA project users to those in PLANTA pulse.

Notes

• The users are synchronized/linked via their e-mail addresses.
• User synchronization is one of the requirements for the operation of PLANTA Hybrid. However, for the synchronization itself, settings must be made in the PLANTA project system on the server side (in the web.conf).

From S 39.5.27

Configure the following server parameters in the web.conf for the PLANTA project system which is to communicate with the PLANTA pulse system:

• generic_service - must be activated (true)
• generic_service_interface - must be configured if necessary
• generic_service_port - must be configured
• ssl_generic_enable - must be activated (true) if you want to run PLANTA pulse on HTTPS.
• apikey_auth_filter_generic - must be deactivated (false) since PLANTA pulse does not authenticate to the other web interfaces.
• After you have configured the parameters, the server must be restarted.

Up to S 39.5.27

Configure the following server parameters in the web.conf for the PLANTA project system which is to communicate with the PLANTA pulse system:

• generic_service - must be activated (true)
• generic_service_interface - must be configured if necessary
• generic_service_port - must be configured
• ssl_generic_enable - must be deactivated (false) since SSL is not supported. If you want to have PLANTA pulse running on HTTPS, you have to work with a proxy/tunnel.
• apikey_auth_filter_generic - must be deactivated (false) since PLANTA pulse does not authenticate to the other web interfaces.
• After you have configured the parameters, the server must be restarted.

Procedure

• In the Unsynchronized users area, all users from PLANTA project are displayed.
• If you want to create these users in PLANTA pulse, click on the Synchronize button.
  • Only those users which have an e-mail address in PLANTA project are synchronized with PLANTA pulse.
• If the same users already exist in both systems, click on the Link user button.
  • Only users which have the same e-mail address are linked.
• As soon as the synchronization/linking is completed, all synchronized/linked users in the Synchronized users area and the unsynchronized/unlinked users remain in the Unsynchronized users area.

Details

• If the names or e-mail addresses of synchronized users in PLANTA project change, you have to click on the Update button in the Synchronized users area. The respective user data in PLANTA pulse is updated.
• If the user synchronization fails, the Open Configurations module is displayed at the bottom margin, in which the log file can be opened by opening the context menu on the respective configuration and the cause of failure can be checked.
