OPC Security

OPC Server Security in the OPC DA Server Toolkit (Windows Desktop and CE)

Introduction

Most OPC servers contain sensitive production data or information that is valuable to the enterprise. Protecting this information from unauthorized access is important to your organization. Now, with the OPC Data Access (DA) toolkit, adding OPC Security to your server is easy-to-do!

Benefits of Our OPC Security Implementation

The DA Toolkit now provides a complete implementation of the OPC Private Security Interface that goes beyond providing simple interface hooks. It ships with the following features and a sample source code designed to make your job easier.

	Client Logon With OPC private security, clients must explicitly logon before being allowed access to any secured object.
	Unique Security Credentials Private security credentials allow you to isolate server security from underlying network security.
	Security Granularity Two levels of security granularity give you added flexibility and control. Server level security allows you to define user access rights for all items in the server namespace. Item level granularity allows you to assign user access rights to individual items or to groups of items.

High Performance
Our OPC Private Security implementation imposes virtually no overhead to normal OPC server processing.

Rapid Implementation
Modify the sample server (provided with our evaluation software) to get your security implementation working quickly.

Security Interface Testing
We provide a pre-built version of the client for testing your server security modifications.

OPC Standard Compliant

The OPC Data Access (DA) Toolkit security interface and sample implementation are fully-compliant with the OPC Security Custom Interface 1.0 standard.
