    Posted Wed July 27, 2022 08:11 PM
    Hi All,

    As per the below link we can login to Maximo via URL by passing user name and password, is there a way to pass encrypted password ?

    http://hostname/maximo/ui/login?login=url&username=maxadmin&password=password

    How to allow user login Maximo via URL?

    Thanks

    Hi Srini,

    What's the use case you are trying to resolve?  Are you using native authentication or AppServer Authentiocation?  I assume you are tyring to simplify the authentication of users for accessing Maximo or is it for integration?  You can pass a base64 encoded user:password combination as a header or an API key.  I'm not sure if these are supported as URL parameters. Have you considered Single Sign On?

    We have a requirement in the warehouse, Technicians have thin client and bookmark the URL where user dont need to login into  Maximo to create an SR.

    We use basic Maximo authentication.

    Above URL is working as per the requirement but password is clearly visible, want to replace password with encrypted value so it will be difficult to read. If I pass base64 encoded value in above URL replacing the actual password it didnt work. Looking for options how to login with URL and hide/encrypt the actual password

    Thanks,
    Srini

    If they're creating a SR, I'd consider utilizing guest work center for submission. From a licensing perspective, it's critical that they have only the ability to submit a SR and make a subset of modifications (adding new files & worklog entries for example). The guest work center will ensure you stay compliant. We want to eventually move this functionality over to the new Mobile SR application but it's not yet planned.

    It's not possible to utilize this with MAS because we spin up our own identity provider that utilizes OIDC to authenticate you between our products. This also enabled us for the first time to officially support different authentication methods per user (IE user A is LDAP, user B is local/native, user C is SAML). With MAS, I don't believe we will ever allow query parameters to authenticate. Even with 7.6.1.X, we started to disable this (system property mxe.webclient.allowUrlLogin) because it's a bad security practice.

    Hi Steven,

    Yes, enabled Guest URL for Work Centers and able to create SR. One question is from Work Center SR page I see Location and Asset are mandatory to create a SR.

    Is there any documents or steps how edit the Work Center SR page to remove Location and Asset required ?

    Thanks
