n Password Control
The user authentication mode may be defined with Windows authentication mode or CENTUM
authentication mode. In Windows authentication mode, the passwords are controlled in Windows
environment. The following descriptions are valid for CENTUM authentication mode only.
There are two modes for controlling passwords: Local control and Common control. Either of the two
can be selected on the Security Builder. The mode can also be selected according to the security
operation condition of your plant. The Local control is specified by default. Each control mode is detailed
in the following subsections.

SEE For more information about the detailed procedures to select a mode for controlling passwords, refer
ALSO to:
3.6.4, "Definition of Password Control Modes"

l Local Password Control

In the Local password control, passwords are individually managed upon each HIS. It is necessary to
configure passwords respectively for the HIS to which the user will logon, because the definitions made
on the Security Builder are downloaded to each HIS in this control mode.

l Common Password Control

In the Common password control, the password management is centralized, allowing every HIS to use
passwords defined on one of the HISs. If there are many HISs and it is mandatory to change a
password at established periods, this control mode is useful because you can change the password for a
user account in one operation.
