WarningArticle only valid for viflow 8 – not for viflow 9/(subscription)

The procedure described in this article is only valid for viflow 8! 

In viflow (subscription) and versions higher than viflow 8, it is sufficient to select the Enable anonymous authentication option when exporting Process Model as a WebModel to deactivate the login dialogue or the personalised WebModel. 
This automatically creates an "anonymous" – i.e. non-personalised – WebModel.

When you open the personalised viflow WebModel, a login window appears in which you must enter your access data. These access data are required for the personalised WebModel. In this article, you will learn how to deactivate the login dialogue and thus the personalised WebModel.

What is a "Personalized WebModel"?

By personalizing the WebModel, you can filter the content and relevant information that is of interest to you and display it in a cockpit. For example, all processes or areas in which you are involved can be listed in individual widgets and comments on the individual processes can be displayed.

You can find further information on this in the viflow help under ››› Customizing the viflow WebModel Cockpit.

Configuration of the browser through SSO login

The login dialog when calling up the WebModel can be suppressed without having to do without cockpit and personalization. Internet browsers can be configured in such a way that you are automatically recognized by the previous login to your system when you call up the WebModel and no further login is required.

This one-time sign-on is referred to as Single Sign-On (SSO) and can be activated or configured in different places in the individual browsers.

Delete

Administrator knowledge and rights required

Please contact your IT administration regarding the configuration of the single sign-on (SSO) for calling the viflow WebModel in the browsers you are using.

Further information on the configuration of the browsers of the Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers via group policy is summarized in the article ››› Activate single sign-on (SSO) for different browsers.

In addition, you will find numerous instructions and articles on this topic on the Internet – here, for example, for the ››› SSO configuration in Microsoft Edge.

Deactivation of the login (without cockpit/personalization in the WebModel)

If you do not need the personalization and the functions in the cockpit, you can completely deactivate the login in the WebModel. To do this, please proceed as follows:

Customize the appsettings.json file

  1. Perform a WebModel export and open the target directory.
  2. Open the appsettings.json file with an editor – for example Notepad++ or the Windows Notepad.
  3. Set the SkipAuthentication entry to true {{3}} before false {{2}}.
  4. Underneath, delete the text highlighted in red {{2}}:
    "ldap": {
     "Domain": "vicon.local",
     "Port":
     }

  5. Save and close the appsettings.json file.
  6. To ensure that the modified appsettings.json file is not overwritten during the next export, create a Customizations folder in the viflow program directory and a further WebApp folder in it.
    For example (viflow installation in 64 bit): C:\Programs\ViCon\ViFlow\080\Customizations\WebApp
  7. Copy the modified appsettings.json file to the WebApp folder.
Delete

viflow gold required

viflow gold is required for the automatic copying of files to the target directory of the web model – here steps 6 and 7 described above.
If you use viflow blue or silver, save the modified appsettings.json file and copy it manually to the WebModel target directory after each export.

Check Windows Authentication (active?)

  1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on the server.
  2. Under SERVERNAME – Sites – Default Web Site, click on the application (here: viflow) {{1}}.
  3. Open the item Authentication with a double click {{2}}.

  4. Click on Windows Authentication {{3}} and check if Enabled is displayed in the Status column. 
    If this is not the case (i.e. Windows Authentication is Disabled), click Enable {{4}} under Actions on the right.

  5. Save the changes if necessary.

Delete
