Remarks

The actions performed during the synchronization process include the following:

  • Checking that iFIX is running.
  • Validating user rights to run SecuritySynchronizer, either through the System Autologin user or the user currently logged in.
  • Querying Windows security.
  • Modifying the iFIX security configuration, if needed.
