Access Management

FoxGuard’s Access Management console, utilizing Microsoft® Active Directory®, simplifies and streamlines logon control for networked HMIs and control devices covered under the DisPatch system. It provides consolidated administration of user and group access permission as well as network policies.

The FoxGuard Team configures each Access Management server uniquely, based on site-specific security and compliance requirements.

Some areas of focus include:

1. User Groups

   An Access Management system provides centralized management of group policies. This enables administrators to set up group level permissions and then create unique logins for every user within that group. Group members inherit the permissions of the group, eliminating the need for shared accounts.

2. Password Authentication

   This feature allows an administrator to set password rules for the entire network using parameters like:

   • Minimum length
   • Required combination of alphanumeric and special characters
   • Forced change after a specified timeframe
3. Access Log Management

   By centrally logging all attempted and successful logins, administrators can improve authorization control of the entire network.

4. Security Policies

   Centralized management of additional security policies on all connected devices.

   • Default account lock-down
   • Domain configuration change management
   • Session lock
   • Banner management
