Problem Description

Cached SSO domain login credentials are not expired is failing. SSO Clients are not silently re-authenticated to the datasource.

Findings

In the failed case: 

integrated MicroStation SSO credentials are expiring.  The Default lifetime for Client-side cached  login credential used to silently re-authenticate a client to the Integration  Sever is not working correctly and affecting the cached SSO/domain login. The SSO credentials should not expire.

As referenced to the cfg file, cached SSO/domanin login credentials are not expired:

; Default lifetime (in seconds) for client-side cached login credentials, used to

; silently re-authenticate a client to the Integration Server in the event of a

; network disconnect. When using ProjectWise authentication, after this timeout

; occurs clients will be required to re-input their ProjectWise login credentials.

; A value of 0 (or less) is illegal. Use the "User Credential Expiration Policy"

; General user settings (in the ProjectWise Administrator) to set the policy for

; user expirations.

;

; If this setting is commented out, a default expiration value of 10 hours is used.

; Note that this applies to ProjectWise authenticationonly -- cached SSO/domain login

; credentials are not expired.

;

UserLoginTokenTimeout=36000

 

The failure has been confirmed using  MicroStation SS3 version 08.11.09.357 integrated with PWExplorer  version
