Chapter 5 FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix Groups and Security Setup
Windows Active Directory Security
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software supports Windows Active Directory security. No configuration is required to use
Active Directory / LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). Simply create a user name in the format
DomainName\UserName for logging into Windows.
The password fields and password button are displayed for Active Directory users, however, the password entered into the
user setup will only be used if the user cannot be authenticated with the Active Directory server. When the user IS is
authenticated against the Active Directory server, FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software updates the password stored in the
database to keep the passwords synchronized.
