FactoryTalk AssetCentre Agents w/Co-located Clients Using Editor Security

In FactoryTalk AssetCentre versions prior to version 5.0, it is not recommended to use clients on the same computer as agents when editor security is configured because single sign-on must be enabled for Disaster Recovery to properly function. This means that the FactoryTalk software pieces in use on the client (e.g., FactoryTalk View Studio, RSLogix 5000, etc) will not prompt the user to log in prior to use, thereby limiting the usefulness of the audit and diagnostic logs by not accurately recording the username.

In version 5.0 and later, Single Sign-on is not required when using secured editors for PLC5, SLC500, or Logix (v17 and up) assets.
