The GagePort Mitutoyo OPC Server relies on a Microsoft technology called COM/DCOM to provide among other things, server security and runtime access to server objects.
The instructions in this section outline how to setup the CIMPLICITY OPC Server and the OPC client DCOM security settings to get up and running quickly. Effectively, the settings outlined here turn off all security authentication. If authentication is disabled, then by default all permission checking (for authorization and activation security) are disabled. Any OPC client application can use CIMPLICITY OPC Server objects and the OPC server can callback into the OPC client application.
Use this setup procedure, Steps 1— 6, as a baseline for establishing client / server interactions. Then proceed to "tighten" DCOM security settings using guidelines suggested in Step 2. Turn on DCOM Security.
Warning: If authentication is disabled, then by
default all permission checking (for authorization and activation
security) is disabled. Any OPC client application can use GagePort
Mitutoyo OPC Server objects and the OPC server can call back into
the OPC client application.
