Recording and authorizing run-time changes using

electronic signatures

RSView32 includes an electronic signature verification and
authorization feature that provides a way to secure operations by
verifying the identity of the operator before an action can occur.

The operator’s identity is verified by the signature button—an ActiveX
control that allows certain operations to be performed only if the
operator provides the appropriate user name and password.

Securing tag writes and commands

Using the signature button, you can secure these operations:

setting a tag value

issuing an RSView command

When the operator clicks
this button, the RSView
Electronic Signature
dialog box opens, and the
user must be
authenticated before
writing a new value to the
tag.
