User - configuration dialog box


Configuration of user's parameters is being performed in the following dialog box.

The configuration dialog box consists of three basic parts (tabs):



Definition



Full name


User's full name, which will be always displayed in the titles of process windows. (Required parameter).


Administrator


If the option is checked, the defined user is an administrator. Administrator has the access rights to all objects of D2000 system and can carry out all the parameters in the part Enabled actions are enabled (he/she can carry out all the actions).


Disable logon


If the option is checked, the user's logon to all D2000 processes is not allowed.


Limited to:


If the checkbox is checked, the user's definition will be limited by the date entered in the spin box placed right from this checkbox. After expiration of the date, the system will deny to logon the user.


Time out


Timeout logoff is given in minutes. If the user is not carrying out any actions in process D2000 HI within this time, he/she will be automatically logged off.


Enable empty password


If the checkbox is checked, the user need not any password for access to individual processes of D2000 system - only to enter the user's name (not full name). Logon is required only to client processes with user interface - D2000 HI, D2000 GrEditor and D2000 DDE Server.


Max. expiration time [days]


If the option is checked, the password validity is limited by the number of days entered in the spin button placed right. After expiration of this password validity, the user is called to change the password for 5 times. If he does not change it, the next logon will be denied. In the spin button Limited to, there is displayed information about the last day of the defined password validity.

Note
Each user can change his/her password via the dialog box in process D2000 HI. After any password change, the password validity will be adjusted automatically to the date increased by the number in the parameter Max. expiration time.


Change password


During entering the new name and password, it is necessary to enter the same password twice - into the input fields Password and Confirmation to confirm the correctness of the password.


Change password at login


If the option is checked, given user will be forced to change his/her password at next logon into process D2000 HI. After changing the password, D2000 Server will automatically uncheck the option Change password at login (the change of password will not be necessary at next logon). If given user is currently logged on into process D2000 HI, he/she will be automatically logged off from the process. This feature works also in D2000 Thin Client.


Menu


The option Menu is used to select the object of HI MENU type, which will be inserted into the menu of the process D2000 HI after user's logon.


User delimits external reference


If the option is checked, the system will generate a warning when user tries to rename or delete the object on which the user has rights.

Warning

This option is useful when the value of some object is read/set through the process D2000 GateWay Server or D2000 OPC Server. Both processes refer to object by name (without reference integrity), hence to rename or delete the object can be dangerous. If these "delimits external references" are accessible to the user, the system will generate a warning when user tries to rename or delete the object. This attribute does not influence the other parameters of object.


Allow to configure objects of User type


This option is useful only for user with administrator rights (option Administrator in the configuration dialog window). The administrator allows to configure the objects of User type, he can create, edit, rename and delete the other users. If the logged on user is not administrator he can only read these objects.


Composition


The checkbox Composition allows to choose a graphic information window (picture, graph) or composition of windows. The selected object will be opened on HI process desktop always after correct user's logon.


Macros


Definition of up to eight objects, that the user can open (start) from process D2000 HI using command buttons in the toolbar or keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+1 up to CTRL+8).
These objects may be the following types:


  • Picture
  • Graf
  • Composition
  • Command file


Enabled actions


Enabling or disabling of some special operations for the user in HI process environment. Enabling (or disabling) will show (hide) the particular item in the menu of the process D2000 HI after user's logon.

Authentication methods

Selection of permitted authentication methods. As a default, only D2000 method is permitted (verification of name and password which have been configured in this dialog box). Other methods (NTLM, Kerberos, TCL, RFID) are disabled. To use other authentication methods than the default one you must enable the method to selected/all users through the configuration parameters of D2000 Server process.
The checkbox TCL also enables/disables to log on the user through a web browser in the thin client environment.

Domain
This parameter is mandatory for NTLM, Kerberos and TCL authentication. In all cases after the successful verification of user's identity by the Windows authentication subsystem (NTLM/Kerberos) it is also verified that the user is logged into the domain with the same name as the value of parameter Domain (comparison is case-sensitive). If the domain name is different, the logon will fail and the log of process D2000 Server will contain the error message similar to this one:

Authentication: error in domain - expecting Ipesoft, found IPESOFT
