2.
Partner ID   (Optional) The name of the trading partner which the PartnerExpress server administrator associates your client with.
Username   (Required) The name of your client that is set up by the PartnerExpress server administrator.
Password   (Required) The password for your client that is set up by the PartnerExpress server administrator.
3.
Click Sign In. The default Home View is displayed.
Signing on to PartnerExpress Using Secure URL
You can generate a secure login URL via the PX REST interface by which the user can bypass the login form and directly access the application home page.
Generate the secure login URL from the following PX endpoint: https://<host_name>:6809/px/pxserver/rest/1.0/logonURL?user=<userid>&appKey=<app_key>
where appKey is an alphanumeric string that is sufficiently long and random.
You must configure the SHA-256 hash value of the app key in the gsengine.tra file. You can reset the key by changing the hash and restarting the gateway engine.
The response JSON payload will be in the format: { "url": "<url value>"}. You can use this generated URL to login.
Example:
java.property.gs.px.signon.app.key=CC556D4C3A760BB118F4F033951EC5DA996877CF4C5980BE65F9B8004554CDA1
https://machinename:6809/px/pxserver/rest/1.0/logonURL?user=joe@foo.com&appKey=jwe98hs30g8pm01he
{"url": "https://machinename:6809/px/loginLink.html?auth=rO0ABXQAWXmNyZWF0aW9uVGltZT0xNTkxMTE4MTIyMTAz"}
The generated URL is time bound with configurable expiry and allows you to login for only one time.
