NetLinx Security within the Web Server

NetLinx Security - Web Server

There is no limit to the number of concurrent logins allowed for a single user. This feature

facilitates the creation of a single user (which is really an ICSP device such as a touch panel) that is

provided to a number of ICSP devices using the same login to obtain access to the Master.

 As an example, if you had 50 devices connected to a Master, you would not have to create

50 individual user accounts-one for each device. Instead, you only need to create one to

which all 50 devices use for access.

By default, the NetLinx Master creates the following accounts, access rights, directory associations,

and security options:

Security Options: FTP Security - Enabled

Admin Change Password Security - Enabled

All other options - Disabled

 The administrator user account cannot be deleted or modified with the exception of its

password. Only a user with both Configuration access and administrator rights can alter

the administrator’s password.

Authentication is based upon matching the user’s data to pre-configured username

and password information, and then assigning the rights assigned to that user.

The maximum length of a username or password is 20 characters. The minimum

length of a username or password is four characters. Characters such as # (pound) &

(ampersand) and ’ " (single and double quotes) are invalid and should not be used in

usernames, group names, or passwords.

Default Security Configuration (case-sensitive)

Account 1 Account 2 Group 1

Username: administrator Username: NetLinx Group: administrator

Password: password Password: password Rights: All

Group: administrator Group: none Directory Association: /*

Rights: All Rights: FTP Access

Directory Association: /* Directory Association: none

By default, Master Security (and all subordinate options) are disabled. If the user/group is

given FTP access rights by the administrator, all directories can become accessible (read/

write/modify).
