New Security Model for DataHub version 11

An entirely new security model in DataHub version 11 offers:

  • Import user accounts from a local Windows machine or external LDAP server
  • MFA – Authenticate users using multi-factor authentication, including TOTP (time-based one-time passwords).
  • Differentiate user access permissions by connection source (i.e., IP address, CIDR) and connection protocol (e.g., OPCUA, MQTT, TCP).
  • Create custom roles and permission sets for application functionality and to better secure data using domain-specific permissions.
  • More robust permission granularity for authorizing users.

The new security model uses a new file and format, and it automatically migrates the v10 security data (e.g., users and permissions). It’s also easy to revert back to v10 (see the documentation).

Cogent DataHub™ software from Skkynet provides secure access to industrial process data.  It offers a unique combination of outbound-only connections from the plant, multiple protocol integration through a unified namespace, DMZ support, and convenient node and networking security options to ensure that only qualified users gain access to the data, and only to the data they need.
