     button to open the
    Login
    dialog box.
  2. In the
    Domain
    box, enter domain name.
    TIP:
    If the
    Visible
    check box is not selected in the
    General
    tab of the
    Login Button Properties
     window, the
    Domain
    box is invisible.

    check box and the

    check box are selected in the
    General
    tab of the

     window, the

    TIP:
    If the
    Hide User Name Entry
     check box is selected in the

TIP:
  • If the application is running on a computer that does not have an external keyboard or keypad, press the
    Domain
    ,
    User Name
    , and
    Password
    buttons to open the string pop-up keyboard.
  • If the graphic display changes remotely before the operator presses
    Enter
    , the
    Login
    dialog box closes and the login is canceled.
  • To log in to the system, the operator is either configured with runtime security code(s), or belong to a group that is configured with runtime security code(s). If security is set up, the operator must also have a password.
  • Only the users who are configured in ME runtime security or belong to the group that is configured in ME runtime security can log in.
  • If a user account is disabled or locked, the user cannot successfully log in before the user account is enabled or unlocked.
  • If a
    PanelView Plus 6
     or
    PanelView Plus 7
     terminal's time is not synchronized with the domain controller, domain users cannot log in on the terminal before the terminal's time is synchronized with the domain controller.
  • If you only add a user’s default primary group, Domain Users, to Runtime Security, user authentication fails via Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) on terminals. Because the members attribute cannot be populated with the primary group.
    To log in a domain user successfully on terminals, do one of the following:
    • Add the domain user directly to Runtime Security at design time.
    • Create a domain group (non-primary), add the domain user to the group, and add the group directly to Runtime Security at design time.
    • Create a
      FactoryTalk
      group at design time. Add members,
      FactoryTalk
       users, domain users, or domain groups (non-primary) to the
      FactoryTalk
       group at design time and runtime.
  • When a user logs in, the previous user is logged out.
  • If a user's password has expired and must change password at first logon, or the user's password will be expired, when the user logs in, the change password dialog box opens to prompt the user to change password.
  • If a Windows-linked user belongs to a Distribution type Windows-linked user group, the user cannot log in to the running application on desktops. To log in the user, change the group type of the Windows-linked user group to Security.
