Q

There is a login and logout button available on the default page when multipe users are configured but it is disabled, why?

A

Yes this is correct and intended.

Normally this button would allow you to logout and login online during a watch. But this login and logout method is not supported by netSCADA devices.

netSCADA devices use the socalled "digest authorization" method where the web browser and a web server negotiates the protection during the first browser session. This is why a netSCADA device asks for a user and his password during the very first access of a browser.

In order to change the user on netSCADA devices then just close the browser window and re-open it to start a new session with the netSCADA device. It will again prompt you for a user and password.
