Knowing where to log in

The login page of the Designer is accessible by launching the following URL:

http://cpq_server:cpq_port/CPQDesigner/Login.do

After doing so, you will see the following login page:



Understanding the login process

In order to log in, you will need to provide your credentials.

CHOOSE YOUR WORKGROUP

The first field in the login screen will ask you for your workgroup.

Note: A workgroup is a virtual environment that contains users, roles, teams. Users can work as a member of one or multiple teams, and can have different roles inside each team. In most circumstances only one workgroup will be used.

By default, the workgroup Cameleon Software will be created. We invite you to create a new workgroup, which will hold your specific information.

For more information about workgroups, please refer to Administer Workgroups.

ENTER YOUR USER NAME

The second field in the login screen will ask you for your user name.

A user name is the identifier that you provide in order to connect to the application. Users are specific to a workgroup, meaning that different users can have the same user name if they belong to different workgroups.

If you don’t remember your user name, please contact your PROS administrator.

By default, after installation, a user with the name cameleon will be automatically created for you. This user will have administrative rights, and you can use it in order to construct your own workgroups.

ENTER YOUR PASSWORD

The third field in the login screen will ask you for your password.

A password is used to verify that the user “is who he says he is”. Passwords are encrypted and are stored in the Designer database.

The default password associated with the cameleon user is leon.

Note: For security reasons, it is advisable to change the password of the cameleon user after installation.
Note: For security reasons, users will be automatically deactivated after 90 days of inactivity. Users can be either reactivated by having an Admin updating the user settings, or by contacting PROS Support.

Connecting using a specific workspace and language

As of version 8.0, it is possible to log into the application using a specific workspace and language. To log in using a workgroup “myCompany” using the English language, proceed as follows:

http://cpq_server:cpq_port/CPQDesigner/Login.do?workgroup=myCompany&language=English

To log in using a workgroup “myCompany” using the French language, proceed as follows:

http://cpq_server:cpq_port/CPQDesigner/Login.do?workgroup=myCompany&language=French

Note: Use these new login URL’s in order to add the Designer URL to your browser’s favorites in order to avoid choosing the workspace and language each time over again.

Customizing the login process

It is possible to externalize the user name and password check through an external application, such as an LDAP system. In this case, a class must be written that complies with certain standards. Please contact PROS Customer Support for more information.
