A new tool, the Security Synchronizer, is available to help synchronize your iFIX user accounts with your Windows user accounts. The Windows-to-iFIX Security Synchronizer provides a single point of configuration for management of user accounts. This application assists customers who want to create Windows user accounts to produce a more secure environment.
The person who administers the Windows security system adds and removes users from specific Windows groups. The Security Synchronizer application creates, modifies, and deletes iFIX user accounts based on information retrieved from the Windows security system. This allows you to administer security in Windows and have those changes propagated to iFIX. When you are using the Security Synchronizer, all modifications are made to the iFIX security configuration; the Windows security configuration is not modified.
Refer to the Using Security Synchronizer section of the Configuring Security Features manual for complete information about configuring and using this tool.
