NetLinx Security within the Web Server

Browser Application Frames

A web page (FIG. 30) can be divided into separate sections or frames, each of which can be independent
of one another and display their own information.
Located on the left side of the populated Browser window is the Navigation frame which allows a user to
navigate throughout the application. Located on the right side of the Browser window is the Active frame
which displays the pages corresponding to the currently selected option from within the Navigation
frame.

Default Security Configuration

Security for web pages is separated into two access groups: HTTP and Configuration:
44
HTTP Access allows an authorized user to view these web pages by first requiring the entry
of a username and password at the beginning of every connection session with the target
Master. If Master Security is not enabled, the username and password fields are not
displayed and the Master is openly accessible. The Master Security configuration prevents
users from altering any security or operational parameters. Unless this option is enabled, all
subordinate options are inaccessible and greyed-out.
Configuration access is initially greyed-out until the Master Security option is enabled. This
feature requires an authorized user provide a valid username and password before being
granted access to change configuration and communication parameters on the target Master.
Only with this type of access can a user begin to alter security or operational parameters such
as access rights, Port assignments, System values, and SSL certificate usage.
