When starting aweb session andconnecting to the site,the user must log on (see attachment). When "Remember my password" is selected the pop-up subwindow still appears. We would prefer to not have the users having to log on to the web clients each time they start a session from the same PC, as the web-client sessions are all read-only and access is restricted in any case. I looked through the documentation and the forum and could not find any information regarding this. Thanks, Dan Attachment Web_Login.gif (96 Downloads)

I am actually working on this "issue" because I have a project with an IIS6.0WebSite thathas a WebNavigator as a Virtual Directory, and other applications also. I would like to logon on the Web Site based on Integrated Windows Authenticationregardless if I access WebNavigator or other parts of the WebSite. The promised Simatic Logon Feature is not there yet regarding WebNavigator (maybe in V6.2). It is not possible to achieve this by just using WinCC/WebNavigator/IIS settings. WebNavigator ISAPI filter WebFilter.dll uses a surrogate Account WNUSR_DC92D7179E29 (big security flaw in my opinion because the password is fixed and easy to find)to impersonate Windows and usesthe prompted user/password to validate WinCC account (German thinking ). I can see"fixing" this behavior bybuilding a higher ISAPI filter but I am not done yet with the debugging Dec

So if you want to use the above syntax you would need to remove the particular MS hotfix (sorry I don't know the number).
