The Super User account is a special user account that has unlimited access to all ClearSCADA features. It is designed to be used when the security features have been configured incorrectly and are preventing access to your system - the Super User can log on to the main server in any situation and rectify the security configuration errors.
On the Super User Account ‘page’ of the ClearSCADA Installer, you can choose whether you want to enable the Super User account. You can also define the log on details for the Super User. As the Super user account has no restrictions, you should only allow authorized personnel access to the Super User’s user name and password.
- Enter a User Name for the Super User. This will be the exact User Name required to log on to ClearSCADA via the Super User account.
- Enter a Password for the Super User. Again, this will be the exact password required for log on. You have to specify a password that is at least 12 characters long. The password is case-sensitive. It is stored in encrypted format and is designed only to be decrypted by the server on which it was created.
- Enter the password again in the Confirm Password field.
- Select Next to proceed to Ready to Install.
NOTICE
SECURITY THREAT
The Super User account has no restrictions and access to every part of the system, therefore unauthorized use of the account could compromise the security of the system.
You should only allow authorized personnel to have access to the Super User’s user name and password.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
