OFFLINE ACCESS CONTROL FOR AN APPLICATION

摘要

Techniques to facilitate offline access control for an application associated with an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a a user login prompt for the application is displayed on a display system of a computing system, wherein the user login prompt provides an offline access option for a user to request offline access to the application for a period of time. User login credentials are received along with a selection of the offline access option, which are transferred for delivery to an authentication server, wherein the authentication server authorizes the user for the offline access to the application for the period of time based on the user login credentials. An authentication response is received from the authentication server, wherein the authentication response instructs the application to authorize the user to operate the application for the period of time without requiring authorization from the authentication server.

主权项

1. One or more computer-readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon to facilitate offline access control for an application associated with an industrial automation environment, wherein the program instructions, when executed by a computing system, direct the computing system to at least:
display a user login prompt for the application on a display system of the computing system, wherein the user login prompt provides an offline access option for a user to request offline access to the application for a period of time; receive user login credentials and a selection of the offline access option to request the offline access to the application for the period of time; transfer the user login credentials and the selection of the offline access option for delivery to an authentication server, wherein the authentication server authorizes the user for the offline access to the application for the period of time based on the user login credentials; and receive an authentication response transmitted from the authentication server, wherein the authentication response instructs the application to authorize the user to operate the application for the period of time without requiring authorization from the authentication server.
