| LDAP user |
A user whose access permissions are managed by an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server. |
| local user |
A user that has been set up using the standard
Niagara user properties. The system cannot validate a local user against the LDAP database. This type of user can only log in to
a local host. Two local users are common: the admin user and a service user. The admin user logs in to the host during initial
setup and rarely thereafter to update
Niagara software. A service user represents the host to other remote users.
|
| realm |
A set of
Niagara Station devices that share the same Kerberos database. The Kerberos database resides on the LDAP server.
|
| service user |
A user created within a station for the sole purpose of representing the station as the client of another remote host. No
one ever logs in to host as the service user. It represents the host to other remote hosts on the NiagaraNetwork when configuring the remote host’s Client Connection properties under the device.
|
| super user |
A type of local user that has full read-write permissions within a station. This user can set up and update station software
as well as create users and manager access permissions. The default admin user is an example of a super user.
