Description
If the check box is selected, the reader allows anonymous users access to the
data of its OPC UA server.
Anonymous users do not need to specify a user name/password when
establishing a connection. If anonymous access is not allowed, an OPC UA
client or a user must provide a valid user name/password combination of a user
with OPC UA rights. A user with OPC UA rights can be created via the WBM. The
user profile preinstalled in the factory (user name: "admin", password "admin")
also has OPC UA rights.
It is recommended that you disable anonymous access.
Link to the "System - Certificates" menu item, where you can view existing
certificates, import new certificates, as well as create certificate signing
requests and transfer certificate files and certificate key files to the reader.
Button for creating an OPC UA server certificate.
Among other things, the server certificate serves to identify the OPC UA server
to the OPC UA client.
The OPC UA server certificate contains the application name, the security
profile and the IP address of the reader. If any part of this information is
changed, the server certificate needs to be recreated.
Note: Note that the procedure can take several minutes.
With this switch, you can show and use security profiles that are outdated and
classed as not secure. These profiles should only be used if no other security
profile can be used due to compatibility reasons.
