FactoryTalk Historian Security

FactoryTalk Historian ActiveView is designed to support whatever
FactoryTalk Historian Security is configured on the FactoryTalk Historian
server.

1. When FactoryTalk Historian ActiveView attempts to connect to a

FactoryTalk Historian server, the application first attempts to pass
your FactoryTalk Security/Windows log in credentials. The PI SDK
will try to use them directly or find a Trust for the user, domain,
application or machine (per Trust configurations).

2. If all attempts to login to the FactoryTalk Historian server using

FactoryTalk Security/Windows credentials or other machine-related
information fail, then you must have a FactoryTalk Historian ME
native security user account (not FactoryTalk Security/Windows
security-based). In this case, the PI SDK attempts to use the native
FactoryTalk Historian ME user account configured for the Server.

3. If the default native FactoryTalk Historian ME user account does not

require a password, then you are automatically logged in. If the default
account does require a password, a login dialog box appears, which
expects the native FactoryTalk Historian ME user account and
password.
