OMI Alternative Login (Windows native options) for next release ?

This is something we need to have a look at. We want to avoid building something for OMI, then rebuilding it for InTouch, and then rebuilding it for Edge, and then the IDE, and the Historian client, and Teamwork, and, and and... So we want to add this to our identity manager so that it can be used across all the products in the same manner. The identity manager today supports Azure and AVEVA connect, but we are working on plans to expand the capabilities. I cannot make any quick promises here - we sometimes have to make hard choices between what to do and what to postpone, but we are very aware that it is a much-asked-for requirement

Hi Ernst, thanks for the feeback.

I understand your strategy and I hope it will be delivered soon as S.I. and customers are pushing for it since a long.

Hi, The solution you are looking for is called ThinManager , most of our customers use it and does exactly what you have explained. It shows the SCADA in context to the user . Works with OMI, Intouch and any AVEVA Operations portfolio

Thinmanager is from Rockwell right ? I think Aveva should evolve and give same flexibility in OMI as for intouch. I think about the following : 

- Log on feature - possibility to create our own industrial graphics 

- Secured & verified write - possibility to change the popup with our industrial graphics and force for a comment - or a combo box with specific messages based on objects string table in both products 

- Possibility to use smart card or RFID to log on into OMI 

- full reliable and quick web client in both products 

Hi Loris, as Ernst stated this is coming in future, but if you need this right now for end users ThinManager from Rockwell works really work for a lot of things, end user device management, RFID / fingerprint authentication, multiple monitor , audit logging etc. For all of this to come to AVEVA may take some time as it will be a centralised approach and may require internet connection which many companies may not be happy about

Hi,

Thinmanager can do it but exatly the same way as OMI now => it simply switch the user session wich is not acceptable for an operator that wish to tune a parameter :

1. it looses the context
2. it looses time

I'm completly aligned with Loris as secure & write popup have to be configurable or at least refreshed as it destroyes immediatly any efforts you made in creating a nice UI/UX.

For the logon, it is not mandatory to create your own IG but the native login should at least support smart cards and or rfid (biometric recognition is a nice to have) as we're always challenged on and customer doesn't understand why a 2024 software isn't able to do that...

Regards

I just agree to all of this. I would suggest to get the attemptInvisibleLogin method proted to OMI/Industrial Graphics... We can not even create our own graphic to login an IDE user to OMI

Hi Mathieu, I have been able to achieve this with another method using Authlite, it works without changing context 

Hi Rainer,

thx for the feedback.

i sent you a email to cet more détails.

thx Mathieu
