Your BCDE server has the capability of connecting to other Bentley services. This information page is a summary of those services.

• Bentley "IMS" (Identity Management Service)
  Bentley IMS can be used as an alternative to Single Sign On or SAML to replace the use of a separate BCDE username or password.
  
  
  • Please note that Bentley IMS is required if you wish to:
    • configure links between BCDE spaces with projects in Projectwise
    • Use the Infrastructure Cloud Integration (coming soon)

• The Bentley Context Registry
  This service is used to check what your Bentley account has access to.
  
  
  
• The "BUDDI" service (Bentley URL Discovery Directory Interface)
  This service is used to look up the URLs of things that your Bentley account has access to.
  
  
• If you are using the Infrastructure Cloud Integration:
  
  
  • You will need to be using IMS for authentication as stated above, so that the BCDE user accounts can be linked with your wider Bentley account.
  • The Bentley "Projects" API - https://esapi-projects.bentley.com/swagger/index.html for creating the iTwin in Infrastructure Cloud
  • The Bentley "iTwin" API - https://developer.bentley.com/ for creating the iModel.
  • The user will be sent to the Infrastructure Cloud https://infrastructurecloud.bentley.com/ when BCDE directs them to the viewer.
  • There is a requirement that the BCDE server must be accessible by the synchronisation service so that it can download the file from BCDE. 

• If you are using the BCDE Sync module, the following web services scopes are used:
  • openid
  • profile
  • organization
  • context-registry-service
  • product-settings-service
