Testing IMS 2.0 Pre-Production Environment 

1. Update hosts file on your local machine to direct to IMS 2.0

Note:  You must have administrator privileges on your computer in order to edit the hosts file.

Bentley offers a tool that can be used to automatically update the hosts file to point the domain https://ims.bentley.com to the IMS 2.0 environment.  We recommend using this tool to switch to the IMS 2.0 environment for testing (click the Activate 2.0 button) and then switching back to the IMS 1.0 environment (click the Activate 1.0 button) when you complete your testing and are ready to resume your daily work. 

The tool can be downloaded from HERE.

Instructions to manually update the hosts file to direct traffic to IMS 2.0 is available on this wiki.

 

2. Test Federated Identity Sign-In 

Note:  If you are using Microsoft ADFS as your Identity Provider, you will need to add the 'Name ID' claim to the 'Mapping of LDAP attributes to outgoing claim types'.  See Step 3 of ADFS instructions HERE.

Step 1:  Open CONNECTION Client application.

If you do not have the CONNECTION Client installed, you can download it from https://store.bentley.com/en/products/iware/1000CC--CONNECTION-client

Step 2:  Enter your federated email address and click the green Next button.

 

Step 3: Sign-in to your Identity Provider

Enter your account credentials and hit next

Step 4: Verified you are signed in.
