Configure Pipeline Pilot Server Communication with 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

Configure Pipeline Pilot Server communication to use cross-origin resource sharing (CORS).

  1. From your Pipeline Pilot Server home page, click Administration Portal and log in using the appropriate credentials.
    This displays the Pipeline Pilot Server Administration Portal.
  2. From the list of pages, select Security > Authentication.
  3. From the Check users against list, select Foundation.

    Foundation Hub performs authentication of all Pipeline Pilot requests in Unified Lab Management.

  4. Click Save.
  5. From the list of pages, select Setup > Server Configuration.
  6. In Allow Cross-origin Requests, enter a series of 3DEXPERIENCE servers that must be able to communicate with this Pipeline Pilot Server, separated by spaces.

    The servers are specified as fully qualified domain names with optional port information.

    You can include wildcards in the server names and port numbers. A wildcard in the port number will accept requests from any port on that server.

  7. Click Save.
  8. From the list of pages, select Maintenance > Manage Server.
  9. Click Restart Apache.
    The Pipeline Pilot service is restarted.

This configures your Pipeline Pilot Server to allow cross-origin requests from the specified servers.

Configure 3DPassport Authentication in Foundation Hub

Configure 3DPassport as the authentication method used by Foundation Hub.

  1. From your Foundation Hub home page, click .
    This displays the Foundation Hub Admin and Settings page.
  2. From the Settings list, select Hub Configuration.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. In the Authentication Provider section, set Authentication to Passport.
  5. Click Save.

Foundation Hub will now use the 3DPassport service for authentication.

Install a 3DPassport Certificate in Foundation Hub

If your 3DPassport certificate is not valid, you must provide it to Foundation Hub so that it considers 3DPassport authentication as trusted.

  1. Open 3DEXPERIENCE in a browser and click the padlock in the address bar.
  2. Click Certificate and select Details.
  3. Click Copy to File....
    This opens a certificate export wizard.
  4. Open the certificate file in a text editor.
  5. Select Base-64 encoding and save the certificate to an accessible location.
  6. From the Foundation Hub Admin and Settings page, select Trusted Certificates from the Settings list.
  7. Click .
    This opens the Add Trust Store Certificate dialog.
  8. Copy the certificate key from the text editor into the Certificate text or HTTPS URL field.
  9. Click OK.

This adds the new certificate and installs it in Foundation Hub.

Install a Foundation Hub Certificate in 3DPassport

If your Foundation Hub certificate is not valid, you must provide it to 3DPassport so that it considers Foundation Hub authentication as trusted.

  1. Access the 3DPassport Control Center.
  2. Choose Configuration.
  3. Select Trust store and add the Foundation Hub certificate to 3DPassport.
