I have a request to add badge readers to a factory's Panelview HMIs. They are running ME and I'm 99% sure they won't connect to LDAP as you need OPTIX or SE. I do have Ignition connected to LDAP and will be able to get the badge numbers in as well, so I know authentication on that end can work. Has anyone implemented a solution that takes the badge read, authenticates through Ignition then passes the log in credential to the PLC and in turn the Panelview?
For example
Default: 0
Operator: 10
Mechanic: 20
and so on.
If you're using perspective you could try creating a custom script using this:
The only downside is that when you use this script the credentials do not come in as a full Ignition login. The credentials will not get passed to the perspective auth properties.
I built a custom login system using this method it took some architecture but everything is tied in (protecting views/buttons/urls/etc.)
It also allows for multiple login types (AD/Multiple badge system/Really any amount of login types can be added.)
To be honest, I don't think I care about the auth properties. Essentially, when I scan my badge it would see my role and the PLC would see my role associate with whatever level I deserve.
