This section explains about the behavior of Application Manager in Operations Control connected experience.

Work with Application Manager in Operations Control connected experience

1. Launch Application Manager.

   If you are launching Application Manager for the first time on this node and no other Operations Control product was launched and authenticated on the same node before, then you are prompted to authenticate with AVEVA Identity Manager on a web browser or embedded browser (based on the choice that you have made while configuring Authentication tab in System Management Server of the Configurator). If you have already launched and authenticated Application Manager on this node or launched and authenticated any other Operations Control product on the same node before, then you will be authenticated using Single Sign-On. For more information refer to Authenticate using AVEVA Identity Manager section.

2. Enter your email address that is registered with an account to sign in to AVEVA Identity Manager and the respective password.

   • When successfully authenticated:

     • Your subsequent logins will be authenticated with Single Sign-On.

     • The Application Manger ribbon shows the information of the logged-in user.

     • You will be able to publish tags, access AVEVA Industrial Graphics drive and Credential Manager, run View applications in Read-Only or Read/Write mode, and perform DBLoad.

   • If the authentication is not successful or authentication is canceled:

     

     • Application manager will stay on without any logged-in user.

     • You will have to authenticate with AVEVA Identity Manager when you attempt to launch WindowMaker or WindowViewer.

     • You will be able to run WindowViewer in Read-Only mode only. In Read-Only mode, you can only view the application and cannot make any changes. WindowMaker will exit.

   • If you close the embedded browser login page that was launched to authenticate with AVEVA Identity Manager, the authentication failure dialog will be displayed immediately.

   • If you do not provide credentials or close the web browser that was launched to authenticate with AVEVA Identity Manager, the authentication failure dialog will be displayed after 3 minutes.
