Configuring IBMid authentication

IBM® Registration ID (IBMid) is the default authentication method for Blueworks Live.

For more general information about IBMid, see IBMid External link opens a new window or tab

As an account admin, you can disable IBMid authentication method at the account level, but only if Blueworks Live authentication or SSO (or a combination) are enabled for the same set of domains.

To enable and configure IBMid authentication for an account, open the Admin page, and go to Settings > Security > IBMid and make the changes.

You can also change the session duration to a value between 60 minutes (1 hour) and 720 minutes (12 hours). The default user session lasts for 720 minutes (12 hours). When the session expires, a user is logged out of Blueworks Live even if their screen is still open in the browser.
