15.1.7 Setting the Default Authentication
•
In the Properties dialog box of the "WinCCWebsite", click on the "Directory
Security" tab. The security functions of the Web Server are set in this tab.
•
In the "Enable anonymous access and edit the authentication methods for this
resource" entry, click on the "Edit" button.
Activate "Basic Authentication (Password is Sent in Clear Text)". This is a
commonly used method for identifying and authenticating the user in accordance
with the industry standard.
During the course of the non-encrypted authenticity confirmation, the Web browser
prompts the user to enter a valid user account name and the corresponding
password.
Note
When SSL is used, all information, including both the request and the response,
are encrypted. This includes the information for the authenticity confirmation of the
HTTP access (user name/password) as well as all data which are transferred by
the server to the client.
