On premise entry batch - encrypted credentials

In AVEVA Administration, you can compile credentials into an encrypted file. This allows you to create batch files without storing user credentials in plain text.

To access this feature in Administration, select Manage, then select Users. At the bottom of this form, select Create Script.

The Command Script Generation window opens:

Select Conditions to open the Command Script Conditions window:

In this window, you can define the user credentials MDB and conditions. These optional conditions can specify which Windows users are allowed to start the macro, which physical machine can run the macro, and the time period during which the macro is valid. The input field specifies the location of the macro to be executed, and the output field defines where the script is created.

This encrypted file can then be called from the following DOS script:

ADMIN -module: monitor TTY -macro: c:\temp\encryptedmac.mac

Entry batch for LaaS – Unencrypted credentials

Firstly, there are a couple of environmental variable needs to be defined for the LaaS license server.

AVEVA_CONNECT_LOGIN = TRUE

AVEVA_LICENSE_SERVER_LIST = <URL pointing to License Server>

This is an indicator that LaaS is being used instead of AVEVA Licensing Service and will prompt all entries to AVEVA products to use LaaS.

DOS Batch LaaS – Encrypted credentials

The method for creating encrypted details is the same as used for non-LaaS on-premises projects.
