Legacy Standard Project

Legacy Standard project: A project without standard security features.

If you tick the check box "Pwd-protected", you must enter a Pmon user and a password. The Pmon user can be any user. You can enter one user per project. The user is used for the project administration. If you enter a user, the project cannot be started without the user and the password. These are queried before the project start.

This authentication is, however, not connected with the users or with the users of the operating system.

If the settings of a project are changed, a project is started, stopped, etc. the user and the password are requested. A user and a password have to exist for the authentication

if you want to administer the project remote (e.g. via HTTP in a web browser). Activate the check box Pwd-protected in order to assign a user and a password to the project.

The user and the encrypted password are saved in the progs file. (see also Functionality of the Pmon).

Figure 1. Enter password
CAUTION: The password policy is checked in a standard project when defining a pmon or root password or when defining a password for the certificates used for MxProxy, Web Sever, SSA or the root certificates for all three features.

The default password configuration is 8 characters consisting of at least 1 upper case letter and 1 special character. The default password configuration can be overwritten in the installation directory in the file WinCCOA_Path/scripts/libs/classes/userManagement/PasswordPolicyConfig.ctl.
