“Security“ Menu Item

Controller security

Secure all controllers

Closes all non-essential ports. Activates the firewall for Bridge 1 of the controllers.

Activates https, SSH, PLC runtime and PLC Webvisu.

Changes are stored in the solution and written to the controller during the next synchronization. The “Network“ menu item executes the transfer (see 8 “Network“ Menu Item).

A default setting determines which ports on controllers should be closed or opened. Users can modify these settings at their own discretion in a global setting for the WAGO Solution Builder software. The appsettings.json file is located in the installation directory of the WAGO Solution Builder software in the Config folder. The changes take effect when the service restarts. You can contact WAGO Technical Support if you need technical assistance.

Project-specific settings can also be customized. The file must have the filename customHardening.json and have the same format as the “Hardening” section of the appsettings.json file mentioned above. The file itself must then be uploaded to the WAGO Solution Builder software via the 8 “ATTACHMENTS“ Tab.

Change all passwords

The changes are saved in the solution but not transferred to the controllers immediately. The “Network“ menu item executes the transfer (see 8 “Network“ Menu Item).

If the Linux root password has been changed, the new password is applied automatically to the WAGO Solution Builder software’s connection settings after synchronization with the controller.
