Creating a Trust
To create a trust in the module web interface:
1. Click Configure Historian and then click the Trust Management in the left
navigation bar.
2. Click [New].
3. Enter the name of the trust in the Trust field.
The Trust field is required. It is a record name that must be unique within the
Trust table. Any alphanumeric combination is acceptable for the name of the trust.
Trust names must be made up of English alphabet characters and the numeric
characters 0-9.
4. Select a FactoryTalk Historian ME user from the PI User drop-down menu.
The drop-down menu contains valid users that have been defined in the user
database (with one exception which is described in the “OS User” step.) This field
specifies the FactoryTalk Historian ME server user whose privileges will be
assigned to the incoming connection when the connection credentials match the
specifications in the Trust record.
5. Enter the name of the domain in the Domain field.
A Windows Domain name may be used only for Trust logins for SDK client
applications running on Windows. The domain must be the same for the
FactoryTalk Historian ME server and the connecting application.
6. Enter the operating system user in the OS User name field.
This field is used only for SDK applications running within a Windows domain.
7. Enter the application name in the Application Name field. A blank value indicates
the match is not required. Otherwise, a case-insensitive match is required.
For a API application to match the Application Name, the Application Name must
be specified as the 4-character application name (with an e at the end of the
name).
For a SDK application to match the Application Name, the Application Name
must be specified as the filename of the application executable with a file
extension and without the directory path.
See “Client Application Trusts” section for more information.
