Authentication

Web Client access to the Movicon Server may require users to Log On according to how the project was configured on the Server side.

 

Access without Log On:

Access without Logging On is possible by disabling the password management in the Server project. This will allow Web Clients to access directly without being asked to Log On beforehand.

 

Access with Log On:

Accessing by Logging On is possible by enabling the password management in the server project. By doing this all Web Client accesses to the server will require a user password for identifying and recording all users who access.

 

The password for web client connection may be requested but may not be accepted for the following reasons:

  1. The Server does not have its WebClient option enabled on the runtime license

  2. The Server has child projects with their "Network Server" enabled using the same TCP port for listening as used by the parent project

  3. The IIS has not been installed in the server's operating system (Windows Professional version)

 

All Web Client accesses with log on will be recorded in the Server's system Log to identify the users connected.

 

After access has been gained and the user needs to interact with an object which  has a password level higher than theirs, the user will not be requested to login again but will be banned from using object.  Therefore it will be necessary to carry out Server access authentication procedures again but with a user that has a higher level to gain interaction access with this object.  In order to do this, you will have to restart the Web Client session by, for example, doing a html page  refresh ( or by using the "Log in as a different User..."  command if using a Midlet).
