Figure 9-11 WBM: “Enable/Disable User Authentication” dialog
• To enable user authentication, enable the “User Authentication” check box.
• To disable user authentication, disable the “User Authentication” check box.
• Click the “Save” button to apply the settings.
Recommended:
• Only use the administrator password printed on the controller for logging into WBM
for the first time.
• Once you have logged in successfully, change the administrator password to prevent
unauthorized administrator access.
The modified access data of the administrator is stored on the SD card.
Please note:
Enabled user authentication only provides a limited degree of protection against unautho-
rized network access.
Because of its communication interfaces, the controller should not be used in safety-crit-
ical applications without additional security appliances.
• Ensure that you always operate the controller with the latest firmware version.
• Follow the security advice on unauthorized network access in Section 1.6.2 .
