About Application ID data instances

Purpose

03-02 C-268 ABLAL Process Commander supports single sign-on: a person or external system that is authenticated by an external application can become authenticated for Process Commander without providing a second user ID and password. The single sign-on feature is implemented through a security token.

An Application ID instance contributes information to the construction and evaluation of security tokens. It provides one password for a group of users who are authenticated externally. It also determines the amount of time allowed between the time a security token is created and the time that the token is evaluated (known as lag time).

Don't confuse Application ID data instances, which support authentication, with application rules, which provide the RuleSets and other characteristics of a single Process Commander application.

For information about implementing single sign-on with a security token, consult Authentication in PegaRULES Process Commander, a document in the Integration section of the Pega Developer Network.
