Missing certificate (orange shield on PLCNext Engineer)

alexsanchez · December 9, 2020, 2:51pm

I connected to a new 2152 PLC, but something strange happened, and I see an orange shield whenever I connect to the PLC (at one point it was the normal blue one). I am still able to download new programs and debug. Is this related to certificates? OrangeShield How to solve this? Thanks

Hi Alex. This symbol is most commonly seen when User Authentication is disabled from the Web-Based Management page, although strangely the PLCnext Engineer help system does not seem to mention this at all. If you suspect it is a certificate issue, what do you see when you hover over the orange shield? 2020 12 09 16 18 34

Is user authentication enabled in WBM? Or is it disabled? 2020 12 09 17 15 11

I enabled it and now I get the Blue Shield. Thank you!
