Why doesn't Connection Client log you in to the Communities and Connect port of Bentley

So we have Connection Client installed but still when picking communities.bentley or connect.bentley, we still have to log in. So the Connection Client really has nothing to do with Bentley support or discussions but only is a way to track license usage?

  • Are you accessing connect.bentley.com from the CONNECTION Client by either clicking the CONNECTION Center button or choosing CONNECTION Center from the contextual menu? If so, it should open in a web browser with you signed in. While in the same web session, open Bentley Communities (communities.bentley.com). It does not show your screen name initially, but if you click on Sign In, it should do so without prompting for your Bentley login again.



  • I have a similar question. When I go to the CONNECTION Center, then hit community forums or whatever it says, I could have swore it used to log me in to the community automatically. Now, it is semi-automatic as I have to click the silhouette icon in the upper right corner. It does behave as you described and log me in at that point without me having to type anything.  Am I just remembering wrong or did this used to be totally automatic?
