Connecting to an HMI server from an SE Client

Connecting to an HMI server from a
FactoryTalk View SE
 Client requires the following prerequisites:
  • A client and a server activation license must be installed and available
  • On the client (remote) machine, a
    FactoryTalk View SE
     Client configuration file must exist
  • On the server there must be a
    FactoryTalk View SE
     application
  • The FactoryTalk Directory must be configured and available
  • The user logging on must be in the
    FactoryTalk View
     Runtime Security accounts list
  • The user logging on must be allowed to run applications on the
    FactoryTalk View SE
     Client
When you install
FactoryTalk View SE
 software, the
All Users
 account is added automatically to the
FactoryTalk View SE
 Runtime Security user accounts list. This gives all users full access to
FactoryTalk View SE
 applications at runtime, without needing to log in.
If FactoryTalk Security has been used to apply additional security to an application at the FactoryTalk Directory, these additional conditions must be met:
  • the user must be set up in FactoryTalk Security with the permissions required to open and run the client
  • the user attempting to log on must be added to the
    FactoryTalk View
     Runtime user accounts list in the application the client is attempting to log on to, and must have been granted the appropriate FactoryTalk Security permissions
If the authentication fails, a message is displayed for the user that gives them the option of canceling the attempt to connect to the application on the HMI server, or attempting to log on manually. If they choose to retry logging on, the
FactoryTalk View
 Login dialog box is presented.
TIP:
When a Windows-linked user attempts to log on, they must provide their domain name with the user name if the Windows-linked user is on a different domain than the Windows Desktop user, using this syntax:
domainName\userName
To connect to the server from an SE client, do one of the following:
  • Double-click a
    FactoryTalk View SE
     Client .cli file.
  • In the
    FactoryTalk View
     Site Edition Client Wizard, run the client configuration file.
  • In
    FactoryTalk View Studio
    , click
    Tools
    >
    Launch SE Client
    .
  • In
    FactoryTalk View Studio
    , click
    Launch
    FactoryTalk View SE
     Client
     on the toolbar.
