Configuring PI Data Archive Security
Learn how PI Identities and PI AF Identities are mapped to applications and active directory accounts and how custom permissions are configured for each of these identities
|
Note: This course shares many outcomes with the PI System Administration: Basics and PI System Administration: Beyond the Basics courses and has been, for the most part, superseded by those courses. However, the Configuring PI Data Archive Security course does go into more depth regarding older technologies and special case configuration than these new courses. We have decided to have this course remain available for purchase, but we recommend going through the learning outcomes and auditing the video content to make sure it contains the outcomes you need before making a purchase.
|
In this course, you will learn the skills necessary to configure security on the PI Data Archive using OSIsoft best practices. Specifically, you will learn how to create the PI Identities and assign them custom permissions on different areas of the PI Data Archive corresponding to the security needs of your users. Additionally, this course will over how to tighten down your security model to allow the minimum permissions needed for users and applications.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Create a custom PI System security plan that makes sense for your PI System.
- Enable PI API and PI SDK applications to connect to your PI System.
- Create security identities with minimal PI System permissions.
- Map your incoming PI System connections to appropriate PI System identities.
- Troubleshoot common authentication, permission, and connection problems.
