Summary:
How do I setup passwords for IDC. (Manager IDC and Display IDC) 

Solution:
In order to setup passwords for IDC (IDC Display or Manager Client), set up the citect.ini file on the Server (C:\Windows or ...<\\Citect\Bin>) with the following entries:

[INTERNET]
Server=1
Client=0
Display=displayIDC
Manager=managerIDC

Note that you need to ensure that you only have one "INTERNET" section in your ini file. Also, the passwords for Display and Manager must be different but may be whatever you want them to be.

Then setup the citect.ini file on the IDC Display/Manager Client (C:\Program Files\Citect\CitectSCADA\IDC\Bin\) with the following section:

[INTERNET]
Server=0
Client=1
IPAddress=192.168.0.2 (for example)
Password=displayIDC (for Display IDC) or Password=managerIDC (for Manager IDC)

The password must match one of either the Display or the Manager on the server. IPAddress is the IP address of the server.
