When you enable the global security paths option in the Configuration dialog box (of the Security Configuration application), all iFIX user sessions on a computer share the same security configuration. If you use iFIX startup profiles created in the Startup Profile Manager, you most likely want to enable this option. To enable global security paths, select the Use These Paths for All Startup Profiles check box in the Configuration dialog box. The following figure shows an example of the Configuration dialog box with the global security paths check box highlighted.
Configuration Dialog Box, Global Security Paths Enabled
For example, in a Terminal Server environment, enable this option if the default SCU is enabled in the Startup Profile Manager. If you do not enable global security paths, you will need to individually configure security within each Terminal Services user session.
IMPORTANT: For global security paths to work correctly, the Base and Language paths in the SCU's Path Configuration dialog box must be the same for all users. Project paths can differ, however. To open the SCU, click the Start button, point to Programs, iFIX, and then select System Configuration. Click the Path Configuration button to open the Path Configuration dialog box. The default Base path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Proficy\iFIX, while the default Language path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Proficy\iFIX\NLS.
For more information on working with Terminal Services, refer to the Using Terminal Server manual. For more information on the Startup Profile Manager, refer to the Using the Startup Profile Manager chapter in the Setting up the Environment manual.
