Login
Not available when logged in as Windows user.
Logs a user into the CitectSCADA system, using CitectSCADA security and gives users access to the areas and privileges assigned to them in the Users database. Only one user can be logged into a computer at any one time. If a user is already logged in when a second user logs in, the first user is automatically logged out.
When using Windows security use UserLogin to limit Windows credentials being exposed as plain text.
At startup, or when the user logs out, a default user is active, with access to area 0 (zero) and privilege 0 (zero) only. Use the LoginForm() function to display a form for logging in to the system.
