10.8 User administration
Introduction
Refer to your machine manual.
Some user administration areas are configured by the
machine tool builder.
If you want to use the user administration feature on
a control without HEIDENHAIN keyboard, you need to
connect an external alphabetic keyboard to the control.
User administration is inactive in the control's factory
default setting. This status is called
legacy mode
. In
legacy mode
, the control's behavior is identical to that of
older software versions without user administration.
It is not mandatory that you use the user administration
feature, but it is essential for the implementation of an IT
security system.
User administration supports you in the following fields
of security, based on the requirements of the IEC 62443
series of standards:
Application security
Network security
Platform security
User administration enables you to define users with different
access rights.
The following options are available for saving your user data:
Local LDAP database
Using the user administration feature on one single control
Setting up a central LDAP server for more than one control
Exporting an LDAP server configuration file if the exported
database is to be used by more than one control
