Use ArchestrA-based security

When you configure a node to use ArchestrA security, the InTouch HMI uses methods and dialog boxes from Application Server for logon and logoff operations. Users are configured on the Application Server Galaxy Repository node. For more information, see the Application Server documentation.

ArchestrA security enables you to easily define users and assign the operations they are allowed to perform. Define security permissions in terms of the operations the users can perform using automation objects. The basic approach consists of the following steps:

1. Define the security model.

2. Organize the automation objects according to the security model for protection.

3. Define the users according to the security model.

The system administrator defines the system users by creating corresponding user profiles. The system administrator then assigns one or more roles to each user by selecting from a list of user roles predefined in the security model.

If you are using InTouch with ArchestrA-based security, the maximum number of characters for a password is 31.

InTouchView users are normally authenticated by means of a password-based log-on.
