Auth0 Support
Auth0 is only supported as an authentication provider with CONNECT.
AIM supports the OpenID Connect protocol. However, we test with Auth0 supported by CONNECT, but we do not test it with every authentication provider available on market
To Install this product release
Please read the installation guide, which is available at https://docs.aveva.com/bundle/asset-information-management/page/1126128.html.
Notes:
-
To enhance the security there is a provision to create encryption keys before deployment and the same keys can be used during the installation.
-
This increases security and safeguards critical information such as databases, services and application pool passwords.
-
The key created must be securely stored at a location accessible across multiple machines while installing the applications.
-
In addition, ACLs (Access Control Lists) can be applied to the configuration file to define fine-grained permissions for different users.
-
-
The Import, Job, FileStore and EIA services will run with the virtual service account by default instead of Local System. These services can run with the minimum privileges required.
-
When installing Microsoft SQL Server, ensure that the Full-Text Search feature is selected in the Feature Selection window.
-
While upgrading from a version 5 installation, any new files you have added are deleted, and all files delivered with the application, are overwritten. This includes:
-
web.config settings, such as additional Portal IDs.
-
AVEVA.NET.Import.Server.exe.Config settings, such as database related details.
-
-
The 3D Viewer has been enhanced to support saving and restoring multiple viewpoints per model, as well as importing viewpoints from Navisworks (.NWD) model files through 3D Gateway. Additional improvements include enhanced default MarkUp behavior, optional model position shifting, and configurable default camera posture settings.
-
All 3D models require reprocessing through Import Controller and any markups created on 3D with earlier versions of AIM will be deleted and needs to be recreated.
-
The name of the authentication provider for AIM-hybrid has been changed from AIMHybrid3DVS to AIMHybrid. This change requires updating the authenticationProvider parameter in the web.config file.
Statement of Withdrawal
Technologies that have been withdrawn at this release.
-
Windows Server 2019
