Configuring FactoryTalk Security with Logix Designer application Chapter 2

a. In the Security Authority list, select FactoryTalk Security.

Important:

When you select a security authority for a project, you can only access the
project and any controller that contains it when you have been granted

access in FactoryTalk Security.

b. To associate the project with a specific authority, select the Use

only the selected Security Authority for Authentication and
Authorization
check box.

To remove the association to the specified Security Authority for
this project, go online with the controller and then clear this check
box.

When you associate a project with a specific Security Authority,
you are associating the project with a specific FactoryTalk Network
Directory that is identified by a security authority identifier.
Projects that are secured and bound to a specific Security Authority
cannot be recovered if the Security Authority identifier of the
FactoryTalk Network Directory used to secure the project no
longer exists.

Important:

Before you associate this project with a specific Security Authority, we
recommend that you back up the FactoryTalk Directory and save
unsecured versions of this project file in (.ACD) or (.L5X or .L5K) formats,
and save them in a secure location.
For details about backing up a FactoryTalk Directory see the FactoryTalk
Help. Click the Start button, then click All Programs, then click
Rockwell Software, then click FactoryTalk Tools, and then click

FactoryTalk Help.

Tip:

The check box is available when you are using FactoryTalk Services

Platform 2.50 or later and a version of the application that supports
associating a project with a specific Security Authority.

c. For information about the settings found on the Security tab, click

the Help button.
