   3. The username and login are subject to the same rules as the Windows login.
4. If the Windows Authorization method was selected, then do the following:
   1. Go to the <Axxon PSIM installation directory>\Modules\Wt2 and open the Web.config file for editing.

   2. Replace the following strings:

      <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" timeout="15" cookieless="UseCookies"></forms>  
      </authentication>

      

      with the following strings:

      <authentication mode="Windows">
      </authentication>

      

   3. Save the changes in the Web.config file.

   4. Log in to Windows with the user account under which you are planning to work with the Axxon PSIM WEB Report System.

      Note

      • If no user is added to the Axxon PSIM user rights, then by default this user is assigned the Administrator role.
      • If there is at least one user in Axxon PSIM, and this user is not the one which was used in Windows authorization, then this user will not have access to the Administration panel.
      • If there is a user in Axxon PSIM who is logged using Windows authorization, but not given access to the Axxon PSIM WEB Report System, then this user will not have access to the Administration panel.
