PLM Process Configuration Settings dialog

The fields for this dialog are described briefly here. The values are auto-generated from the input and property files. Some of these entries can be overridden manually.

Application Host Name

This is the auto-detected name of the machine running the PLM Process Server and PLM Process web applications.

You can change this value when users are accessing Optiva. Use a name that differs from the actual host name (e.g., using https://optivaserver.infor.com/FsOptivaWeb instead of https://appserver07.infor.com/FsOptivaWeb). One example that warrants a change to the host name is when you are using a load balancer.

If you change the host name in the Optiva configuration, then you cannot use the actual host name to access the Optiva application. The identity provider only accepts the requests that are made using the host name that is specified in the Optiva configuration.

Application Host Name. In this case, the values for the Application URL, the Audience URI, and the WS-Federation Realm are updated to match the new host name. If you clear the Application Host Name field, then the host name for the other values reverts to the auto-detected name.

You can change the value of the Configuration File Path

This is the path to the Web.config file. This file is updated with the WS-Federation information, plus a few other pieces of information.

URL

The URL that is used by client browsers to access the Optiva application. No other URLs are allowed. You cannot use an alias, a local host name, or IP address to access the application.

Suppose a custom host name cannot be resolved to the actual host name. Then, you must add an entry to the host file on the machine from which you are accessing the application.

Site Name

The selected website for the Optiva application. Usually, the Default Web Site for a standard Optiva installation. To change the site name, manual steps are required after the installation.

Port

The default value is 443 for an https port. The value can be different.

Protocol

Always https.

Audience URI

The URI that is recognized by the identity provider. This value is in the system.identityModel section in the FsOptivaWeb/Web.config file:

<system.identityModel>

<identityConfiguration>

<audienceUris>

<add value="https://optivadev.infor.com/FsOptivaWeb/" />

</audienceUris>

An administrator can add more than one value to the audienceUris list. This enables the identity provider to accept more addresses. The configuration tools can accept only a single value.

Trusted Issuer Thumb-print (1-3)

Trusted certificates are used by Optiva to let the identity provider know which certificate(s) are valid. The thumbprints for these certificates are specified in the trustedIssuers list in the FsOptivaWeb/Web.config file.

<issuerNameRegistry type="System.IdentityModel.Tokens.ConfigurationBasedIssuerNameRegistry, System.IdentityModel, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">

<trustedIssuers>

<add thumbprint="53D06038470F459CCF90180D9BA2B6136BD89395" />

</trustedIssuers>

</issuerNameRegistry>

You can specify a maximum of three certificates. At least one certificate must be valid. If there are three thumbprints, you can replace one or two certificates on the server without having to update the FsOptivaWeb/Web.config file simultaneously.
