Configuring P6 Administrator application for the P6 Adapter

To configure the P6 Administrator application for the P6 Adapter:

  1. Log in to P6 Administrator application.
  2. Expand Primavera P6 Configuration, Web Services, Security, and Authentication.
  3. In the Mode: field, select SAML Token Profile.
  4. Expand SAML Token Profile and then complete the following:
    1. In the SAML Version: field, select 2.0.
    2. In the Require Signed SAML Token: field, select true.
  5. Under SAML Token Profile, expand SAML Tokens and then complete the following:
    1. In the Issuer: field, enter the string default value.

      Notes: The Issuer setting is a SAML token metadata property that references the IdP URL when using federated identity. You must set the value to default value because this setting in P6 Administrator application does not require a valid IdP URL to generate a token because the P6 Adapter generates the token.

    2. In the IssueInstant Timeout: field, enter a timeout value between 5m - 11d.

      Note: The IssueInstant Timeout setting is a SAML token metadata property that refers to the duration of time that the token can be used from the instant in time that the token was issued to the requester. For example:

      After you have completed the rest of the configurations necessary for SSO and you generate a SAML token with an IssueInstant Timeout setting of 10 minutes, you would only have 10 minutes from the moment that the token is generated to upload the token to your Primavera Gateway P6 provider, start a flow, and have the flow utilize the P6 Adapter before the token expires.

      When the SAML token expires, you must generate and upload a new one to the Primavera Gateway P6 provider.

      For more information about this setting, refer to How To Configure The P6 Adapter (Primavera Gateway P6 EPPM Provider) For SSO (Doc ID 2111540.1) on My Oracle Support.

    3. In the AuthenticationInstant Timeout: field, it is recommended enter the value that you entered in the IssueInstant Timeout field.

      Note: P6 Administrator application sets the AuthnInstant setting in the SAML token as the time that the token was generated. You must set this value equal to the value entered in the AuthenticationInstant Timeout field.

      For more information about this setting, refer to How To Configure The P6 Adapter (Primavera Gateway P6 EPPM Provider) For SSO (Doc ID 2111540.1) on My Oracle Support.

  6. Under SAML Token Profile, expand Signed SAML Tokens and then complete the following:
    1. In the KeyStore Type: field, select JKS.
    2. In the File Location: field, enter the location of the Java keystore. For example, ..\keystore\keystore.jks
    3. In the Keystore Password: field, enter the password for the private key in the Java keystore.
    4. In the Certificate Alias: field, enter the alias that you use in the Java keystore. For example, selfsignedcert
    5. In the Private Key Alias: field, enter the alias that you use in the Java keystore. For example, selfsignedcert
    6. In the Set Private Key Password: field, enter the password that is used by the Java key.
  7. Click Save Changes.
