Channel Control (Start/stop) by OS-script without userlogin?

[Former Member]

We're trying to trigger (actually stop) a PI-Channel from a Operating System script.

Basically, it works good using WGET and the ChannelAdminServlet, but we need to use pass a user and password, which - of course - we got to store somewhere or code in the script.

Currently, the Webservice wants a login, otherwise we get an 403-error.

1. Is there a way to configure some kind of "single-sign-on"?

     The scripts are startet from a PI-Channel. So this is the same user we need to control the channel.

2. Can we disable the need for a login for this special service?

3. Is there any other way to control a channel from a script?

Thanks for your ideas!

Hi Heiko,

Single signon is basic authentication in PI, disabling may be not possible but check with Basis team explore more to disable the authentication(but not recommended ).

I have not seen anyone done this kind of requirement but i feel with single sigle sign on using script we can perform action(check with unix scipt team or check in google).

2. Can we disable the need for a login for this special service?

I dont think so.

Regards,

Raj

Did you find a solution?

We did not find a solution - we solved our problems with new java modules, which is much better to handle.

And normally, you don't need to control your channels externally.

Just let them poll!

Hi Heiko,

You can use web-service to control the communication channels externally.

Refer this blog.
