Learn to configure the FlowWright with Forms Authentication

Last published at: November 12th, 2026

Authentication Providers lets you define and manage any number of service providers. 

Navigate to the Administration > Authentication page, then click the Authentication Connections > Providers menu option. 

 

The page lists the authentication providers, as shown in the example below. The Authentication Providers are sorted by Name and include columns for type, namespace, DLL path, and verification status. Use the “Search” text box to filter the results. 

 

On the Authentication Provider page, click the “Actions > Create” menu option. 

 

Enter the Auth Provider name, description, type (e.g., Windows, Forms, SAMLPost, SAMLGet), namespace, and DLL path, as shown below. Click the “Validate” button to verify the configuration values. A confirmation message appears in the top-right corner. 

 

As an Admin User, create the Forms Authentication Connection definition in FlowWright.

On the Authentication Connections page, navigate to the Actions > Create menu option. 

 

Provide an Auth Connection name and description, select the auth provider from the drop-down list, enter the Auth Key, choose an image file for the connection icon, and click the “Create” button. 

 

The new Auth Connection is created, and a confirmation message is displayed in the top-right corner. 

 

As an Admin User, create the Login UI Auth Connection, which facilitates a login interface to the FlowWright application. 

On the Authentication Connections page, navigate to the "Actions > Login UI Auth Connections" menu option. 

 

The Configure Login UI Authentication Connections page is shown below. In the drop-down list, you can select which authentication connections to include or exclude from the user interface. The table below lists active Auth Connections. 

 

Use the drop-down list to select 'Login UI Auth Connections' by checking their boxes. You may also remove login options by unchecking their boxes. A confirmation message appears in the top-right corner.   

 

The Login UI Auth Connections that enable form logins are shown below. Use the arrow keys to rearrange the order of the positions.  

 

Log in to the FlowWright application again to experience the new Login UI and Auth Connections. 

 


When the Forms Authentication Connection is not working.

If the Forms Authentication Connection is not working and this is the only Login UI configured for the application, enter the following URL in a new browser tab to access FlowWright as an Admin.  

 

Note: Using an invalid culture code attribute in the Login URL defaults the application culture to US-EN. For example, xx-YY is an invalid browser culture code. A "browser culture code" refers to the language and region settings a user has configured in their web browser.
