Mappview connection : security for B&R display and smartphone (through site manager)

Ask Questions

Dear,

I don’t found the answer yet here but I would like to secure the access to the X90 mappview from another system (smartphone through a site manager…) to avoid the control by remote access to the display commands (machine start through button on the display…) and let the local display command active (on a T50M for example).

I already use the “client.info” to have some information from the “client” connected to the mappview but I don’t know how managing another “client” connection and make not visible some buttons on this second “remote” display and avoid also that the button status (from remote display) takes control of the local button status ?

Thank you

Sebastien

The most secure solution, from my point of view, would be to use redirect option B&R Online Help and provide remote user only for him valid visualization.

Dear Jaroslav,

Thank you for your feedback, I will have a look on this option.

Have a nice day.

Jaroslav,

I had a look on this option but for that I would need to have different HMI projects (differents VisuId) and I have only one on my project. So I need to found another solution.

It depends how big/real the “security” you are looking for is. You can also configure dedicated roles and limit access according to the logged-in user and their role. You can also read on mapView server-side who is logged in (IP address, etc.) using System variables and implement some logic based on this. But to be honest… the real security for me would be a simplified, second visualization designed for remote users. You can reuse contents for that, so in the end it would not be so much work.. but it depends of complexity and size of your visualization, of course… I would be interested in hearing about your solution :slight_smile:

HI @Sebastien_Vayssiere, so what solution you have used in the end? Can you update us? :slight_smile:

Hi Jaroslav,

Sorry I missed to answer since my coming back from holidays…

In fact the topic is more complex because I need to clearly identify all my needs / cases on my different projects (with different customers) about remote access (it could be an internal person of my customer or end customer, me for a maintenance access so have access to all pages on the HMI…) so I need time to identify all cases and evaluate the software possibilities…

I will keep you informed for the solutions I implemented.

Sebastien
