Connector security

Connector access to Data Archive and PI Asset Framework (PI AF) servers is based on Windows Integrated Security.

Note: Configure security settings before starting the connector.

Configure security settings for connectors to provide the connector secure access to your PI System. Security must be configured to allow the connector to write to both the Data Archive and PI AF servers. For more information about configuring security, refer to the following:

• For Data Archive, see the topics under Data Archive security

• For PI AF, see the topics under PI AF server installation and upgrade

Some data source protocols are inherently insecure. OSIsoft recommends that you review the security standards for your data source to determine the appropriate security measures necessary to secure your system.
