This parameter tells a client process to attempt to authenticate using the stored server password, which results in the client node becoming part of a "trusted network". This parameter is automatically set by the Computer Setup Wizard. You do not need to set this parameter on a computer that is running a server process.
Note: To run as part of the trusted network, the Windows user account that is running the process needs to be assigned to the Server Users security role (see the topic Security Roles).
In Plant SCADA, a network with nodes connected via trusted tran channels, is called a "trusted network" and the nodes must use the same stored server password to trust each other. You do not need to set this parameter on computers that are just accepting CTAPI connections. If the CTAPI connection is being used to access information on a remote server via MsgRCP or ServerRCP, then set this parameter manually.
Although all connections between servers with matching passwords are always trusted regardless of this parameter, the tran channel between server and client should be explicitly configured to be trusted by this parameter in order to process remote requests initiated from the client node. Accordingly, this parameter needs to be set to use the client process as a CtAPI server.
Note: To include an /X process in a trusted network, use the parameter [Client]AdditionalClientsArePartOfTrustedNetwork.
Allowable Values:
-
0 - Client is not part of the trusted network
-
1 - Client is part of the trusted network. Use the Computer Setup Wizard to configure the server password (if not previously done so).
Default Value:
0
