When adding the Project Server type of data connection to EPM Pulse, where the form-based authentication is used, it would be needed to enable such authentication in EPM Pulse first.
By default, such authentication will be turned off.
Note: The account with FBA administrator privileges would need to be used as a synchronization account in EPM Pulse.
1. Open EPMPulse.JobProcessor config file on your server for editing.
By default config file is located here:
C:\Program Files\FluentPro Software\EPM Pulse\Service
2. Add the following line to the app settings. Save the file when you finish.:
<appsettings> [...] <add key="IsFormsAuthForPSConnector" value="true"></add> </appsettings>
