PTC Server Connection and Repository Adapter

  • 2149492 The approach of using the Windows Certificate Store via Internet Explorer to support two way SSL (client certificate) authentication of a connection to a Windchill server has been introduced in this release. If the existing client certificate is in an external file, or in a certificate store for a different browser, import it into to the My Certificates section of the Windows Certificate Store using the steps detailed below. The steps must be completed for every PC that will be used to access Windchill in this way.The Windchill server administrator should generate a certificate if one does not already exist.
    • In Internet Explorer, access the Tools->Internet Options menu option. Click the Content tab then the Certificates button.
    • In the Certificates dialog box, click Import.
    • In the Import dialog box, browse to the location of the client certificate file then click Next.
    • Type the client certificate password and ensure that the Enable strong private key protection check box is NOT checked.
    • Store the certificate in the Personal key store.
    • Click Finish.
    • Verify that Windchill can be accessed using Internet Explorer. If this is successful Arbortext Editor should be able to connect to Windchill using the imported certificate.

    Note: If the Windchill server requires smart card authentication, insert the card into the reader attached to your computer before attempting to connect Arbortext Editor to Windchill.

  • 2155353 Arbortext Editor's list of valid characters for workspace names when working with the adapter to Windchill now matches the list in Windchill.
  • 2159196 Arbortext Editor no longer displays an error message when you elect to work offline in a newly created workspace.
