Configure Windows Credentials

Perform the following steps on Webspace servers to set up a default Windows login on Webspace servers and avoid the need to log in every time you open a Webspace screen from a Webspace widget.

Procedure

  1. Open a project in CIMPLICITY Workbench as needed.
  2. In the top-level folders, click and expand Computer.
  3. Double-click Configuration Hub.
    The CIMPLICITY Proficy Authentication login page opens.
  4. Log in using ch_admin as username and your Proficy Authentication secret as password.

    Once you log in to Configuration Hub and expand the CIMPLICITY plug-in node. You will see Webspace plug-in under the CIMPLICITY plug-in node.

  5. Click the Webspace plug-in.
  6. Click General.
  7. Enter Windows login user name and password in the Windows Credentials section, and then Select Test.
    For security reason, consider using a windows user that is not an Administrator. Choose a user that has permissions to run CimView.exe and access the screens directories. Refer to the latest CIMPLICITY Secure Deployment Guide for further secure setup suggestions.
    A success message is displayed if the credentials are valid.
  8. Select the Enable Webspace Strong Encryption check box to use the Webspace widget in Operations Hub.
  9. Click SAVE.
