Configure HTTP Authorization Credentials
...
The specification of http credentials for in-house customers was previously supported globally and configured in the httpclient-auth.properties file. This method is no longer used. In-house customers using this file for HTTP authentication should read the Migration Considerations before upgrading to Live Forms v6.3.
To configure http security credentials at the tenant level, follow these steps:
- The Http Auth Credentials section is at the bottom of the Edit/Add tenant screens and is initially collapsed. Click the the icon to expand it.
- Enter the scheme from the dropdown. The admin may enter multiple credentials by clicking the icon. Each should be for a unique scheme/host/port/realm. The supported options are:
Basic - a common HTTP Authentication protocol that assumes that client credentials consist of a username and a password where the latter is a secret known only to you and the server
NTLM - a Windows network authentication protocol that allows a client to prove its identity without sending a password to the server.
Scheme, host, user name and password are required.
Port is optional and may be left blank. Either blank or -1 equates to any port and the system will alter blank to be -1.
All fields are specified in plain text and not encoded in any way.
Domain is only generally used for NTLM.

A user designing a form, viewing their task list, or using a form to enter values and submit has a certain number of minutes to complete the activity. This time limit is call the Session Timeout. By default the session will expire after 480 minutes of inactivity. When the session expires a designer user will have to re-login to to continue designing forms and users filling forms will have to get new form instance and re-enter the values. The tenant admin can override the default session timeout here. See Session Timeout topic in the Installation & Configuration Guide for full details.

The Deployment State lets you toggle the default deployment state of your form between two states: PRODUCTION and DEVELOPMENT. When a form is in development state it contains a watermark.

See also the deployment form property.

- Click the the icon, fill in the form and submit it to create new roles e.g. Employee or Manager.
- Click the Back to Manage Tenant link.
- Next click the Manage Users link.
- For In-house you will see a single user – the administrative user you defined when you created the tenant. Note that you will have to click the link to display All users. By default, only users beginning with the later A are displayed. For Onlne you will see two users – the administrative user and the designer username you specified when you signed up for your trial SaaS account.
- To create a new user with permissions to create forms, click the icon, fill in the form and select the role frevvo.designer. If you do not select this role then this new user will not be able to create forms but will only be able to use forms created by others.
- The new user will be created. Create as many users and assign them roles as needed.
- Logout of the tenant admin account and login as one of the newly created users with the frevvo.Designer role and start building forms and workflows.
- Note that you must login using either the syntax: userid@tenant for the user name. For example, if the newly created tenant was named example.com then all users in that tenant must login using the ID: user@example.com. If you prefer to enter the username and tenant name in their own login page input fields, the configuration parameter, frevvo.login.show.tenant, can be modified to display the tenant name input field.
