As a platform client, you sign on using host level credentials for authentication. This means a user account and password
separate from any station user account. Consider it the highest level access to that host.
CAUTION: A new controller ships with default platform credentials that are widely known—and if left unchanged the controller is extremely susceptible to being hacked.
Starting with the
Niagara 4 startup commissioning process, you must change the default user name and password to something known only to your company
and/or customers.
