- What information is being passed between an organization’s ProjectWise Design Integration Server and Bentley User Management (IMS)?
The ProjectWise Design Integration (PWDI) server communicates with IMS upon user login to retrieve user information such as IMS organization groups, roles and membership. No user data, including email or password, is ever sent from ProjectWise DI server to IMS.
User IMS authentication for PW Explorer is an exchange between the CONNECTION Client and IMS.
- What sites need to be whitelisted to enable IMS authentication in ProjectWise Explorer?
ProjectWise Explorer relies on the CONNECTION Client for IMS authentication. These are the sites that the CONNECTION Client and ProjectWise require to be whitelisted. ims.bentley.com – Authenticates a user to utilize Bentley online services.
- connect-agreement.bentley.com – Confirms whether a user has accepted the EULA (License Agreement) yet.
