All (Administrator): Data collection is unrestricted. Clock, writable variables and settings can
be changed. Programs can be viewed, stopped, deleted, and retrieved. Hidden tables can
be viewed. Files, including programs can be sent to the data logger.
NOTE:
All levels of access allow data collection.
Starting with OS version 11.0, the .csipasswd file must be updated with Device Configuration
Utility. The data logger will no longer accept .csipasswd files sent with web API commands or
from the RTMC Web Publisher. If you are using the RTMC Web Publisher to publish directly to a
data logger you will now need to configure the .csipasswd with Device Configuration Utility.
NOTE:
Ethernet over USB (RNDIS) is considered a direct communications connection. Therefore, it is
a trusted connection and Administrator privileges are automatically granted for all
functionality (csipasswd does not apply).
Create an encrypted password file or modify an existing password file using Device Configuration
Utility:
1. Connect to your device in Device Configuration Utility.
2. Click the Network Services tab, then the Edit .csipasswd File button.
3. Define user accounts and access levels.
4. Click Apply. The .csipasswd file is automatically saved to the data logger CPU drive.
When access to the data logger web interface is attempted without the appropriate security level,
the data logger will prompt for a username and password. If an invalid username or password is
entered, the data logger will default to the level of access assigned to “anonymous”. As noted
previously, anonymous is assigned a user level of read-only, though this can be changed using
Device Configuration Utility.
When a .csipasswd file is used, the PakBus/TCP Password security setting is not used when
accessing the data logger via HTTP.
CAUTION:
The .csipasswd file is not reset or deleted when setting the data logger back to factory
defaults or formatting the CPU drive.
