The built in web server is considered deprecated. The security issues of hosting a web server on the same computer as your SCADA system should be enough to keep you from doing so with ANY product. There are a number of other options, described in this chapter, that will provide the same, or better features in a more secure manner, so to ensure a secure DAQFactory we have removed easy access to the built in web server. For customers that still need to use the web server in existing applications, you can access the configuration by typing:
system.editWebSettings()
in the Command/Alert window. However:
1) the web server should only be used for internal, isolated (non-Internet connected) networks
2) the web server should not be used for ANY new applications
3) the web server will most likely be completely removed from the DAQFactory product in the coming releases, so you should migrate to one of the other features described in this chapter as soon as possible.
