Hi Team,

I am working on Perspective mode. My requirement is when I launch the session I want to enter the system login user name and system password.

I don't to enter Ignition user name and password. I tried with Identity provider and its not working.

Please guide how we can configure.

Are you saying that you want to log into a Perspective session using the credentials that the user would use to log into the OS?

Typically this is accomplished by setting up an Active Directory user profile.

Since Perspective requires an IdP, it means your org would need to have AD federation services or some other IdP that integrates with AD.
