Securing FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
Using FactoryTalk Security
About FactoryTalk Security
FactoryTalk Security is intended to improve the security of your automation
system by limiting access to those with a legitimate need. FactoryTalk
Security authenticates user identities and authorizes user requests to access a
FactoryTalk-enabled system. These security services are fully integrated
into the FactoryTalk Directory and are included as part of the FactoryTalk
Services Platform that installs with many Rockwell Software products.
For more information on configuring or overriding security services using
FactoryTalk Security, see the FactoryTalk Security online help (select Start
> Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk Tools > FactoryTalk
Help).
Considerations When Using FactoryTalk Transaction
Manager With FactoryTalk Security
Please keep the following in mind when configuring FactoryTalk
Transaction Manager for use with FactoryTalk Security:
 FactoryTalk Transaction Manager inherits its security settings from
Network (also called Distributed) applications and/or the FactoryTalk
Network Directory. Any changes that you make via FactoryTalk
Security affect FactoryTalk Transaction Manager and all other products
that are connected to the same FactoryTalk Directory computer.
