Autologin

Hello,

I have a ProviewR project that is currently running on a runtime system. I need multiple Linux users to be able to start the operator interface (op) of the project.
Currently, my user "test" is automatically logged into ProviewR when I log into Linux with that account. However, when I log in with a different user (for example "OpTest"), that user is not automatically logged into ProviewR.
Is there a way to configure the runtime project so that any Linux user who logs in is automatically logged into ProviewR? Or is it only possible to configure one specific user for automatic login?

Thanks
User

Hi User,

You can create several users and the pwrrt package creates four users at the installation, pwrp, skiftel, b55 and b66. If you create a new Linux user it should be added to the pwrp group and execute (source) /etc/pwrp_profile at login. You can add a script like this to the auto start of the desktop

#!/bin/bash
source /etc/pwrp_profile
$pwr_exe/rt_xtt 'opplace' -a &

where 'opplace' is the name of the opplace object (op). Note that users that can be concurrently logged in should not share the same opplace object as they will steal alarms and events from each other.

Hello Cleas,

This doesn’t seem to work for me. For example, when I’m logged in as the user pwrp and run the following command: $pwr_exe/rt_xtt 'opplace' -a &
I still get the login dialog, even though the user is part of the required group. The same issue occurs when I log in through an RDP connection. The opplace window opens, but I’m not automatically logged into ProviewR.

Hi User,

'opplace' should be replaced by the name of the OpPlace object you want to use, and the User/Password in the OpPlace object should be filled with a valid user defined in the ProviewR user database.

Hi Claes,

Just to confirm. Does this mean I need a separate OpPlace object for each user I want to set up with auto-login?

Hi User,

It is possible for different Linux users to share the same OpPlace object. But users that can be concurrently logged in and displays alarm and event should not share the same opplace object as they will steal alarms and events from each other.
