IP Information

A PI trust can specify IP information about the computer running the PI interface or client application for which you are defining the trust. To collect this information, run pidiag -host on the computer where the interface or client application runs. This returns the connection credentials as retrieved from the local operating system.

• Using pidiag -host does not guarantee that you will get the right information. The results depending on many factors, including the type of interface, the version of the SDK (if SDK-based), and whether there are firewalls or NAT devices between the interface computer and the Data Archive computer. If you have difficulty configuring the trust, contact Technical Support.

• When applications run on machines with multiple network cards, you cannot predict which credentials the application will send to Data Archive for the trust authorization. We thus recommends that you either avoid such configurations or create a PI trust for every IP address on the machine where the application runs.
