How to login to gedi with SSA

[n.kuehl]

Hello,

I have set up a new WinCC OA 3.18 project with server side authentication and want to open the GEDI. Here comes as expected the login panel from the web server that wants to have a username and password.
But with the user "root" and my chosen password the login is always rejected with "User/password wrong. Please try again".

What am I doing wrong?

You can't use the root User together with SSA: https://www.winccoa.com/documentation/W ... ation.html

The user root cannot be used to log in, in an SSA project.

The background is that the root user can disable all security measures. For example, the root user can use setUserId() to log in as another user without their password.

Ahhrg forgot about that... I am now using the para user for initialization.
