Connect to the Kony Fabric Console

Applies to Kony Visualizer Classic.

From Kony Visualizer you can access features of the Kony Fabric Console and use them in your application. These features include Identity, for authenticating users from different types of identity providers; Integration, for defining and configuring services; Orchestration, for leveraging the integration services you've created to create a composite service of concurrent, sequential, or looped integrated services; Synchronization, for configuring sync services to your app for backend data, thus enabling offline functionality; and Engagement Services, for configuring notifications.

This procedure assumes that you have a Kony user account. If you do not, you can create one at the Kony Cloud Registration site.

Important: If you are not able to get beyond the login page for the Kony Fabric Console, it may be that you set up Kony Fabric using a self-signed certificate that made it possible to install Kony Fabric, but which Windows and Google Chrome does not trust to allow you to log in. To resolve this, locate the certificate (you may need to contact your system administrator to do so), and then import it into the Windows Certificate Store, into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder. Or you can import the certificate into the Java trust store in Kony Visualizer, which is in the following location:
C:\KonyVisualizerEnterpriseX.X.X\Kony_Visualizer_Enterprise\jre\lib\security\cacerts
For more information on how to import a certificate into the Windows Store, see Import or export certificates and private keys on the Microsoft web site.

To connect to the Kony Fabric Console, do the following:

If you have not yet configured Kony Fabric in Kony Visualizer, on the Window menu, click Preferences.
From the navigation pane on the left, double-click Kony Visualizer to display its options, and then click Kony Fabric.
In the Kony Fabric URL text box, enter the base URL for your Kony Fabric account, and then click Validate. For example:
https://manage.kony.com
Once the Kony Fabric URL is validated, click OK.
Now that Kony Fabric is configured in Kony Visualizer, and if you have not done so already, you need to log in to your Kony account so that you can access the Kony Fabric resources from Kony Visualizer. To do so, in the top right corner of the Kony Visualizer window, click Login. The Kony Account sign-in window opens.
Enter your email and password credentials for your Kony user account, and then click Sign in. Once you are signed in, Kony Visualizer has access to your Kony Fabric apps and services.
To close the Kony Fabric Console and return to the panes, views, and tabs of the Kony Visualizer integrated development environment (IDE), from the Quick Launch Bar along the upper left edge of Kony Visualizer, click the Workspace icon . Since you are still logged in to your Kony account, Kony Visualizer continues to have access to your Kony Fabric services.
With a Kony account, you can be a member of multiple clouds. When you log on to your Kony account, Kony Visualizer defaults to one of those clouds. Any cloud that you are working in has to have at least one Kony Fabric environment associated with it. If the cloud does not have a Kony Fabric environment, the cloud icon in the status bar contains a warning symbol.

If you know that you have access to another cloud that has a Kony Fabric environment, you can select it instead. To do so, on the File menu, click Settings. Click the Kony Fabric Details tab, and then from the Cloud Account drop-down list, select a cloud that you know has a Kony Fabric environment. You can then select the environment you want from the Kony Fabric Environment drop-down list (if only one environment is available, Kony Visualizer defaults to it). Click Finish. The status bar indicates that you are attached to a cloud with a Kony Fabric environment. For more information, see Environments in the Kony Fabric Console User Guide.
