Modify the Cloud Configuration of Quantum Visualizer

To take advantage of Quantum Visualizer's full range of functionality, you need to have a Quantum user account and sign in to it from within Quantum Visualizer. Features related to being signed in to your Quantum user account include cloud-based functional preview, publishing, and the Quantum Fabric Console.

If you do not have a Quantum user account, you can create one at the Quantum Cloud Registration site.

The features available via the Quantum Fabric Console include:

  • Identity - To authenticate users from different types of identity providers.
  • Integration - To define and configuring services.
  • Orchestration - To leverage the concept of combining multiple integration services
  • Offline Synchronization - To configure sync services to your app for backend data, thus enabling offline functionality.
  • Engagement Services - To configure notifications.

IMPORTANT: If you are not able to get beyond the login page for the Quantum Fabric Console, it may be that you set up Quantum Fabric using a self-signed certificate that made it possible to install Quantum 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 Quantum 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.

Log In to Your Quantum Account

To log in to your Quantum account, do the following: 

  1. In the top right corner of the Quantum Visualizer window, click Login. The Quantum Account sign-in window opens.
  2. Enter the email and password credentials of your Quantum user account, along with any other requirements tied to your custom authentication, and then click Login. Once you are signed in, Quantum Visualizer has access to your Quantum Fabric apps and services.
  3. To close the Quantum Fabric Console and return to the panes, views, and tabs of the Quantum Visualizer integrated development environment (IDE), from the Quick Launch Bar along the upper left edge of Quantum Visualizer, click the Workspace icon . Since you are still logged in to your Quantum account, Quantum Visualizer continues to have access to your Quantum Fabric services.
  4. With a Quantum account, you can be a member of multiple clouds. When you log on to your Quantum account, Quantum Visualizer defaults to one of those clouds. Any cloud that you are working in has to have at least one Quantum Fabric environment associated with it. If the cloud does not have a Quantum Fabric environment, the cloud icon in the status bar contains a warning symbol.

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

Connect Quantum Visualizer to a Quantum Fabric On-Premise Environment

From Quantum Visualizer V9 onwards, you can connect to an On-Premise Quantum Fabric environment from Quantum Visualizer.

NOTE: Ensure that there are no uppercase letters in the Hostname URL of the Quantum Fabric environment. Quantum Visualizer does not support the use of uppercase letters in the Hostname URLs.

To connect to a Quantum Fabric On-Premise Environment, follow these steps: 

  1. In Quantum Visualizer, from the Edit menu, click Preferences.
  2. From the left navigation pane, click Quantum Fabric.
  3. In the Quantum Fabric URL text box, enter the base URL of the Quantum Fabric on-premise environment, and then click Validate.
  4. Once the Quantum Fabric URL is validated, click Done.

When you change the Quantum Fabric URL, you will be logged out of Quantum Visualizer, and the Sign-in page of the Quantum Fabric on-premise environment appears. You must sign in to Quantum Visualizer using the credentials of your on-premise Quantum Fabric environment.

NOTE: While using an on-premise Quantum Fabric environment, any cloud-related actions like Build and Publish Native and Package will not be available. The Publish Live preview option is also disabled.

NOTE: If you want to connect to an On-Premise Quantum Fabric environment with a Self-Signed Certificate, ensure that you perform at least one of the following actions:

  • Add the process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = 0; entry in the <install_dir>/config/default.js file.
  • Add the NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = 0; entry in the Environment variables of your System.

Log In by using Custom Authentication

If your company receives custom authentication support, you must configure Quantum Visualizer to include the custom identity of your company.

To configure Quantum Visualizer to use Custom Authentication, follow these steps:

  1. In Quantum Visualizer, from the Edit menu, click Preferences.
  2. From the left navigation pane, click Quantum Fabric.
  3. Select the Enable External Authentication check box.
    The External Login Path text field is displayed.
  4. In the External Login Path text field , specify the name of the External Authentication Provider that Quantum has assigned.
    For example, if the URL of your custom identity provider is https://manage.kony.com/<CustomIdentity>, specify <CustomIdentity> in the External Login Path field.
  5. Click Done.

Once you configure the Custom Identity Provider, the Login page changes to include the Enterprise Login option.

  1. On the Login page, click Enterprise Login. The Enterprise Login page appears.
  2. Specify the name of your company, and then click Next. The Sign In page appears.
  3. Type the credentials of your Custom OAuth Provider, and then click Sign In.

NOTE: You can disable the Enterprise Login option by clearing the URL of the External Authentication Provider from the External Login Path field in Preferences > Quantum Fabric tab.

For information on how to configure External Authentication for your Quantum Fabric cloud account, refer External User Authentication.
