EcoStruxure Web Services Client Setup

Note: This screen is only available if you have configured an EWS Server as an I/O device using the EWS protocol.

Use the EcoStruxure Web Services Client Setup dialog to associate a user name, password, and authentication method (anonymous, basic or digest) to the EWS Server I/O device.

Select the Name of the EWS Server I/O device. The Modify button will become active.

Select the Modify button. Use the Modify EWS Client Authentication dialog to select the authentication method from the drop down list provided.

Citect SCADA currently supports http (un-encrypted non-secure transport) and https (encrypted secure transport) depending on the address specified on the configured I/O device.

Basic -no encryption of the username and password in the transport. Only use Basic with HTTPS.
Anonymous - not using a username and password. For the EcoStruxure Web Services server, you will need to check the 'Allow anonymous' tickbox in the Setup Wizard and specified a user name and password on the server side.
Digest - Username and password is encrypted in and may be used with http.

Enter the user name and password associated to the device. Click OK to save the changes.

At runtime the EWS Client will read the user name and password and use this information to connect to the EWS Server I/O device.
