Authentication is user-specific

When looking at a User in Niagara 4 station, notice that the Password property is now inside a new Authenticatorcontainer, along with Password Config properties. In addition, each User has a specified Authentication Scheme Name, where the default is typically DigestScheme.

This is part of a new authentication architecture” in Niagara 4. Along with a new (and required) AuthenticationService and child AuthenticationScheme components, station security is improved, providing finer control. For the migration of existing station users, typically nothing remains to be adjusted. However, when creating new users, this architecture may provide added flexibility.
