Using iFIX with Proficy Authentication

Proficy Authentication provides support for mufti-factor authentication. It also provides centralized management of Proficy users and groups, and a common security model across Proficy products such as Historian and Operations Hub.

NOTE: For iFIX security to work in the network, all the iFIX nodes must be connected to a same Proficy Authentication server. If you have any previous versions of iFIX SCADA or view nodes, you can continue to log in to iFIX 2022 using the existing security users.

You can use Proficy Authentication in the following scenarios:

• You want to use a common, multi-factor authentication to log in to iFIX and other Proficy products, regardless if you are using Configuration Hub.
• You installed iFIX, Configuration Hub, and the Proficy Authentication (UAA) server, and you want to use Configuration Hub with iFIX .

NOTE:If you are using Windows Server operating system, you must disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration, else it might cause an issue while logging in to iFIX using Proficy Authentication. This is enabled by default on Windows Servers. Follow the instructions documented here on the Microsoft web site: FAQ about Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (ESC).
