Server Authentication

There are three different methods for selecting how a user connects to the server in order to access the Task List.

Manual Login

Select this option to prompt the user to manually enter a user name and password when accessing the Task List.

Control Properties

Select this option to require the user to configure the user name and password through the control properties of the HMI host.

Attribute	Value	Description
ProficySOALoginUser	User-defined	Indicates the user's login name.
ProficySOALoginPassword	User-defined	Indicates the user's login password.

Password Encryption

If you want the user names and passwords to be preconfigured, select this option. These credentials are added in the User Configuration section prior to accessing the ActiveX Task List. In the object's properties, the password is encrypted.
