FactoryTalk Edge Gateway

Configuration Tool password

The first time that you run the FactoryTalk Edge Gateway configuration tool on a machine, the FactoryTalk Edge Gateway Login dialog box appears. Create your password and keep a record of it.

Subsequent users must create the same password. If another user runs the configuration tool for the first time on the same machine, that user is prompted to create a password. The new user must enter the previously created password. Subsequent users are prompted to enter the existing password, which is then cached.

The backup and restore procedures require this password.

The password protects the configuration of the FactoryTalk Edge Gateway service.

This configuration is assigned to the machine and not to the user. Therefore, the password is also bound to the machine and not to the user.

The FactoryTalk Edge Gateway service cannot work with several different configurations (it is obliged to operate single configuration - single service). This is why this particular configuration is additionally protected by a single overriding password.
