VIDEO: Testing Citect Credentials Fail for Application Services Host

Issue
A users credentials fail to authenticate in Application Configuration Utility > Application Services Host:

Citect connection unavailable.
Note: Citect runtime must be running to perform this test

Note: Citect Runtime is already running.


Product Line
PowerSCADA Expert 8.1, 8.2, 9.0 (PSE 8.x, 9.x)

Environment
Application Configuration Utility

Cause

In this resolution, the INI parameter is missing.


Resolution
1.  In Citect INI file, set [ctAPI] Remote = 1.




2.  Shutdown and restart the Runtime (project).

3.  Now the test will succeed:
