Support Cross Domain authentication for PI Processbook to PI Vision 2019 Migration Utility
On an architecture with Utility on a computer located on a different domain of the PI Vision server, the authentication fail.
Could it be possible to prompt a login window (as for AF)

Currently the migration utility will attempt to access PI Vision as the user who is currently logged into the machine. Could you please share more information about your use case and how would a login prompt be useful in this case? Does the user need to enter login credentials so that they can authenticate as a different user (a user other than the user currently logged into the machine)?

Thank you for this additional information. You can achieve this with the PI ProcessBook to PI Vision 2019 Migration Utility by using Windows Credential Manager. Credential Manager can be configured to access a specified network address using credentials for a different user, so that when the migration utility attempts to access PI Vision in the industrial domain it will use the user's industrial domain credentials instead of the credentials they are logged into the machine with.

Dear Ryan, thanks for your comment and attention, this is highly appreciated,
To be more precise on my use case:
- Vision's Server is hosted into a industrial dedicated domain
- Users are on a corporate domain.
- When the access PI Vision website, they're ask to log on with their Industrial domain credentials (we're ok with that, expected behavior)Therefore, the Migration Utility, if it is used on user's computer, can't login into Vision. Our hope is that OSI devellop a login prompt to authenticate on other domain if the utility and the server are not located in the same one.
Thanks for your help,
If needed, I would be glad to have a call if you need further information,
Regards,
