FactoryTalk View user Password

[nmk34]

Hello
is their a way to create a password that contains the following variables:
1) number of the day in the month, example 07 the 7th day in this month.
2) number for the month in the year, example 07 the 7th month in this year.
3) some other number like 100

so the password will look like this:
1000707

Thanks

It would be easy in the PLC. Are you wanting the HMI to automatically change its own password like that?

Are you using FactoryTalk View SE (which has some VBA scripting capabilities), or a PanelView Plus with FactoryTalk View ME, or are you trying to roll your own password / access control feature in the logic controller ?

In general, I don't now of a method for automatically creating simple passwords derived from a constant and the date in a Windows domain controller or server that could do the authentication for a FactoryTalk View system. That kind of password is almost as insecure as a default password.
