Assigning A Password - Siemens SINAMICS Configuration Manual

Security measures for SINAMICS
5.6 Web server
The secure connection limitation can only be changed with the web server activated. In this
case, you have the following options:
● In the "Web Server Configuration" dialog box
● In the web server prior to commissioning for the first time
● With the parameter p8986
Example of configuration in the "Web Server Configuration" dialog box
1. Activate the "Only permit access via secure connection (https)" checkbox.
2. If you do not want to assign passwords for read and write access, activate the "Enable user
"SINAMICS" (restricted rights)" checkbox. Then select the option "without password".
3. Click "OK" to confirm your settings.
This concludes the basic configuration of the web server.

Assigning a password

Requirement
The configuration dialog in STARTER for the web server is open. The web server is activated
by the checkbox "Activate the Web server".
Enabling users
The "SINAMICS" and "Administrator" users can be enabled with their specific rights. You can
also specify whether password protection should be active for the "SINAMICS" user.
Default settings:
● "SINAMICS" user: No password protection
We recommend that you assign a password. The password must consist of 8 characters
or more.
Only restricted access rights apply for the standard "SINAMICS" user.
● "Administrator" user: Password protection. A password is not pre-set.
A password with at least 8 characters must be assigned. If a password has not been
assigned, the following alarm appears when attempting to log in: "A09000: Web server
security: Administrator password not set".
The "Administrator" user has full access rights by default.
