Security

The OPC DA connector installs two services: The “Dataristix Connector for OPC DA” service, and the “Dataristix Connector for OPC DA Runtime” service.

On Windows, the Connector for OPC DA service is installed as a Windows service running under the “Local Service” account, a built-in Windows account with low privileges.

The Connector for OPC DA Runtime service is installed under the “Local Service” account, an account with high priviliges. You may want to configure a different account for the runtime service.

Important

The “Dataristix Connector for OPC DA Runtime” accesses OPC DA servers and needs to be configured with a Log On account that has access to the OPC DA servers.

Remember to re-apply account settings after installing updates to the OPC DA connector.
