Hi experts, Our Appian instance is hosted on-premises and we also have an in-house SSO service agent. When users authenticate through the SSO service agent and request an Appian page, is it possible to bypass the login page in Appian by using the credentials generated from our in-house SSO agent, which was developed in Java?  (The current SSO agent does not support SAML.) I would be grateful if you could provide sample code or related examples related to this matter. Thank you.

Hi, Is there a way to limit the number of concurrent sessions for users authenticating against SAML IdP, specifically Azure? We've tried configuring the limit as described in https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.4/Appian_Administration_Console.html#account-locking but it seems it's only applicable for Appian-based authentication. Thanks

I got this from the Health Check Report: DSGN-0009 Appian Design # of objects with no admin group Medium 83 83 objects do not have an admin group defined. All objects should have an admin group explicitly defined or inherited from a parent container. Is there any fast way to identify which objects do not have an admin group defined? I hope I don't have to go one by one because I have thousands of objects.Thank you so much!

Hi all, This is my uses case. I have a reference table with 2 columns (id(PK) and description)  with all the possible statuses: 1 - Ongoing; 2 - Completed, ..... I need to insert an entity case, that it has a FK to that statuses. For instance, idCase = 1, idStatus = 1. So my question is, what is the best approach to map the value (Ongoing, Completed, ...)  into my case CDT? My initial approach is to have a CONSTANT with the status values: "Ongoing", "Completed" and get the id by a query rule to the table status. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I have to deal with metadata on my processes. Most of them upper 20 parameters. My engine rule Will need to Fetch the specific parameter and its value coming from interfaces, data bases or integrations. So I wonder what It is best way to deal with them for performance: 1) create a CDT with upper 20 fields (and It could be defined more than 50 fields) 2) create a CDT with 2 fields: key and value and work as a list. 3) Define a Map as any type objects. Thank you.
