AutoVue Server 20.2.3: Authentication

Question

Hello Everyone,
We downloaded AV 20.2.3. and were doing some testing around it with our Integration (AutoVue ISDK based) integrated with DMS.
We came across following property in the Release notes for this newer AV server "jvueserver.authentication.enable=true" which talks about by AutoVue now by default needs authentication and its recommended that this property should be always true.
In our case User first logs in to DMS/PLM system and then gets access to AutoVue. Thus we are not doing dedicated login process as user is already logged in to DMS.
When I add the above property in jvuserver.properties file then AutoVue shows error as attached in the image with this post & text is as follows:
Users should connect to an integration or use an authentication method such as Kerberos.
Please refer to the Troubleshooting section of the AutoVue Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.
An error occurred while connecting to the server.
Restart the applet?
YES | No
So my queries are:
1. Is it really necessary in our case that we re-authenticate user?
2. How we can avoid this error (without setting property to false)?
Any thoughts/inputs would be highly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance and thanks for reading through!
Best Regards,
Prashant
