Chapter 11. Red Hat Process Automation Manager roles and users
To access Business Central or KIE Server, you must create users and assign them appropriate roles before the servers are started. You can create users and roles when you install Business Central or KIE Server.
If both Business Central and KIE Server are running on a single instance, a user who is authenticated for Business Central can also access KIE Server.
However, if Business Central and KIE Server are running on different instances, a user who is authenticated for Business Central must be authenticated separately to access KIE Server. For example, if a user who is authenticated on Business Central but not authenticated on KIE Server tries to view or manage process definitions in Business Central, a 401 error is logged in the log file and the Invalid credentials to load data from remote server. Contact your system administrator.
