9.3 Setting up Registration Data and Password
Protection
If you do not set up a user, all web server functions are always accessible to every user . As
soon as you set up a user with password protection, users without a user ID will only have
read-only rights. Write access is blocked for them, which means that they cannot do the
following:
•
Change parameters
•
Operate the station in Force mode
•
Load firmware updates
To set up registration data and password protection
1.
When you start up the web server for the first time, you are prompted to enter the
registration data. The Change login data window opens automatically. You can
access this window later via the Network Adapter status dialog box (refer to Section,
Displaying and Editing the Network Adapter Status):
Figure 303
2.
Enter the User name and Password.
3.
To change the login data, enter the new user name and the new password twice,
click on change login.
4.
To deactivate password protection, do not enter any new data, but instead, click on
No login information.
5.
If you have changed the login data, you must log back in again afterwards.
Note: A forgotten password can be overwritten if the network adapter gets
restarted with no modules connected.
The status data can be displayed at all time, regardless of the state of the
field bus connection. Setup changes can only be stored while the field bus
is not active.
After registration, the connected station is displayed with all its active modules.
