Figure33: EC-Net-Based Centralized Credential Authentication
This authentication method has the following components.
Component Description
Login Credential 1
This is the login credential used by an EC- gfx Program user to connect to the EC-Net station. This
credential is managed in the EC-Net User Service.
Login Credential 2
This is the login credential used by an EC- gfx Program user to connect to any ECLYPSE controller.
This credential is managed in the EC-Net User Service.
Login Credential 3
This is the login credential used by the EC-Net station’s RestService to connect to any ECLYPSE
controller. To program an ECLYPSE controller with EC- gfx Program through EC-Net, the RestService
must be configured on the EC-Net station with a login credential to all ECLYPSE controllers. This
credential is managed in the EC-Net User Service.
RADIUS Server A
Credential Database
This is EC-Net station UserService credential database that is also a RADIUS Server credential
database.
If EC- gfx Program users are to connect to this controller through the EC-Net station, this credential
database must have the credentials for EC-Net station’s RestService. This credential database must
also have the credentials for each user that will login to ECLYPSE controller A or B (for example,
administrators, direct connection EC- gfx Program users, ENVYSION users, etc.).
Note that other EC-Net stations can use FOX protocol to authenticate users on those stations.
Credential Databases
Cache A and B
These are ECLYPSE controllers’ cached credential databases. If the connection to the EC-Net
station’s RADIUS Server is lost, users that have previously authenticated themselves with EC-Net
station’s RADIUS Server credential database on a given controller will still be able to login to those
controllers as their credentials are locally cached.
