To secure a PC with encryption.

When you activate SECURE SOCKETS encryption on one PC, then only PCs that support this parameter (PCs that have CIMPLICITY 4.01-Service Pack 2 or higher installed) will be able to communicate with the secure PC. All data transfer to the secure PC will be encrypted.

You activate this parameter by creating a globals.ini file.

 To activate SECURE_SOCKETS:

  1. Open Microsoft Notepad (or another text editor).

  2. Enter the following two lines.

[ROUTER]

SECURE_SOCKETS=Y

Where

Y= Yes, activate encryption

N= No, de-activate encryption

  1. Save the file as Globals.ini.

  2. Place Globals.ini in the GE Fanuc\Proficy CIMPLICITY\Data directory.

  3. Restart CIMPLICITY for encryption to take effect.

 Important: Only computers that have CIMPLICITY 4.01 service pack 2 or higher installed will be able to communicate with a SECURE_SOCKET encrypted PC.
