Restricting Access to Administration
In Production Monitoring™ 2.0, the configuration section of the software was password-protected and
required a user to log in to make changes to the configuration of the Welding Power Sources. Starting with
Production Monitoring™ 2.2, users no longer have to log in to the Administration page.
If you still want to restrict access to the configuration of the Welding Power Sources in Production
Monitoring™, you must enable Integrated Windows Authentication.

Prerequisites
In order to use Windows Authentication, you must first enable the component in the Internet Information
Services (IIS) installation. You have already installed IIS on the Production Monitoring™ server. You simply
need to enable another component that restricts access and then provide permissions for the appropriate
user(s).
The following sections walk you through enabling the necessary components for your version of IIS:
ƒ IIS 5.1 and IIS 6.0
ƒ IIS 7.0 and IIS 7.5
IIS 5.1 and IIS 6.0
If your server has the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating system, you typically have Internet
Information Services (IIS) version 5.1 or 6.0 installed. The following sections are for you.
