Connecting to TIBCO Cloud

You can use this feature to connect to TIBCO Cloud in the TIBCO Cloud Integration Environment using TIBCO Business Studio client. You can use the SSO (Single Sign-on) method to connect to the cloud.

SSO (Single Sign-on)

The single sign-on feature is provided from TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks onwards. The security folder under BW_HOME contains two configuration files, software_statement.properties and ssoConfig.properties. The software_statement.properties file contains the software statement for SSO client registration, whereas the ssoConfig.properties file contains the configuration details for SSO authentication.

Note: If you want to use the SSO feature, you must first log in with the SSO option each time on restarting and launching TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks.

To log in to the cloud, click the SSO Login icon or click the SSO login hyperlink () on the API Explorer tab.

Important: You must update the configuration details (auth_url, tci_hostname, tci_portnumber, and redirected_uris) in the ssoConfig.properties file as required before starting TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks. When you start TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks, the clientDetails.properties file is automatically generated and it contains the clientID. This is a one-time process and later the existing file is used.

  • auth_url is the URL, where you want to register your client. The default value is auth_url=https://account.cloud.tibco.com:default.
  • tci_hostname is used to get the list of available APIs and cloud applications in the API Explorer and Cloud Applications tabs respectively. The default value is tci_hostname=https://integration.cloud.tibco.com:default.
  • tci_portnumber is the port number. The default value is tci_portnumber=443.
