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 OPC DA Connector services are installed as a Windows service running under the “Local Service” account, a built-in Windows account with low privileges. You can change the account for of the service to a different user account if preferred, following general guidelines.

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.
