SystemLink Login to view Test Results

[EricEvola]

SystemLink Server and the Test Module are installed onto a Windows server machine dedicated to hosting SystemLink. Almost no one at Aurora has access to this server or even uses Windows, but I'd like employees here to be able to log into the SystemLink Web portal and view results.

How would I do this?

We have 2 users in our license right now. Do i need more? Could I have 1 Admin and 1 view only user? If so how would I set that up?

Hello Eric,

The easiest way would be to add users to the server (Windows users). These users shouldn't have any system rights, but be added to user groups that could e.g. SL_admins or SL_users. These groups can then be tied to roles in the web server configuration dialog.

Better would be to use an existing ActiveDirectory or LDAP server to manage the users and groups. Using AD is very straightforward, but LDAP requires some fiddling with the formatting of the distinguished names. This post (https://forums.ni.com/t5/SystemLink/SystemLink-LDAP-group-as-admin-configuration/td-p/3841456) shows my configuration.

Portal users don't require extra SL licenses (at least for the base server, add-ons might require user licenses).
