Hello everyone,
I have a database in which the passwords for the PLC users are stored for each customer project. I would now like to write a tool that automatically transfers the passwords to my Automation Studio projects.
Means I have to change the password in the config file of the project. Here I encounter the problem that the passwords are saved as a hash.
Is there any tool that I can use to hash my passwords from the database and then copy them into the config file?
Greetings
Jan
Hello,
I think we need more information about which passwords you want to change, i.e. for the user/role system, security, VNC, FTP etc.
In the case of directly generating hashes from outside the AS, I have my doubts, because that would mean knowing the hash algorithm used.
In the case of the user/role system, it is probably better not to save the passwords in the project, but to set them with ArUser, for example.
Hi Christopher,
thank you for your feedback.
I would like to change the passwords in user management and in the FTP server.
The hint with ArUser is very helpful. But what about FTP?
greeting
Jan
Unfortunately I’ll have to pass, but there are still a few clever minds here.
Hi @Fischer, what is the status of your topic, can you update us and close it?
I didn’t found an solution
Since Automation Runtime 6.5, FTP can also be set to use the User Role system instead of using custom FTP users. So now you can solve all User / Password Handling either by using ArUser directly, or by using the MpUserX functionality.
