NOTE
Refer to the information on configuring Historian interface connections
in the Configuring FT Historian SE Security guide for details associated
with the following procedure.
To configure your Historian server to provide access for
Historian Interfaces:
1. Identify all the Historian Interfaces that need access to the
Historian server.
2. Consult the documentation for each interface and gather the
information you need to configure the trust. You need to
know the connection type. The type of connection determines
what information you can use to define the trust. You also
need to specify at least one of the following:
• The correct application name to define the trust.
• IP information for the connecting computer.
3. Decide how many trusts you will create. You can create
explicit individual trusts for each Historian interface, or you
can group them by subnet, host machine, or user name. A
group of Historian interfaces can share the same privileges.
4. For each trust, create a PI identity.
5. Give that PI identity all the access permissions required by the
trust.
6. Create a trust based on that PI identity.
