Common QPR Authentication

It is possible to configure a common authentication system between different QPR Suite product web clients (e.g. QPR ProcessAnalyzer Web Client and QPR Portal), so that linking from one product web client to the other can be done without the need of a separate login for the product that is the link target.

Setting Up

The configuration file Qpr.ProcessAnalyzer.Common.config is used for registering servers belonging to the common authentication server group. The servers can then share user sessions created for users.

To set up a common authentication server group:

1. Create or change usernames in both the source and target QPR products, so that the usernames are identical in both products.
2. Configure common authentication settings by adding the URL of the product where the linking is done from to the Qpr.ProcessAnalyzer.Common.config file of the target product. For example...

Linking to QPR ProcessAnalyzer Web Client Views

To link to a QPR ProcessAnalyzer Web Client view using the common QPR authentication, append a "&xsessionid=<#sessionid>" parameter to the end of the link URL, such as a bookmark or a collaboration feed URL. <example to be added>
Now when you are logged into QPR Portal, for example, you can open the link without additional authentication.
