Install the Auth Tools

This section explains how to install the Auth Tools.

As of 2023.4, the Desktop analysis components cannot connect to previous Validate Servers. You must use the same release version for kw-desktop-tools and the Validate Server.
If you are using SAML or OIDC and wish to continue using version 2024.1 or earlier of the kw-desktop-tools or Build Tools (excluding Kwauth), you can install the latest version of Kwauth as standalone software from the Auth Tools package.
  1. Ensure that you have access to a Validate Server version 2024.2+.
  2. Install version 24.2 or newer of Kwauth from one of the following packages:
    • Auth Tools package:
      1. Unzip kwauthtools package to a location on your local machine.
      2. Make sure that the Auth Tools bin folder in your your PATH environment variable is listed ahead of any other 2024.1 or earlier tools packages that contain Kwauth.
    • Build Tools package
    • kw-cmd-installer in the kw-desktop-tools package
