Use administrator TestStand login by default on a LabVIEW UI

[Daniel Coelho]

Hi,

I'm building a simple TestStand user interface on LabVIEW and I would like to disable the login.

But when I disable login all controls are disabled automatically.

How do I disable login or use the administrador login by default on my LabVIEW UI?

I'm using LabVIEW 8.5 and TestStand 4.1.

Thanks,

Daniel Coelho

Daniel,

there are two easy options you can use:

a) Disable user management. You can remove the checking for user priviliges in the Station Options >> User Management. But please keep in mind that this setting is valid for the whole station then also effecting any other UI you run on that machine.

b) Create a user in the user management whose name fits the Windows User. E.g. if you log on to Windows as "DC01", create a TestStand user called "DC01" and give him the priviliges needed. Then place a check in the checkbox "Automatically Login Windows System User" in the Station Options >> User Management.

I suggest you to do b).

You can programmatically disable user management in your UI and therefore deactive the login-mechanism, but this requires some experience in using the TestStand API....

hope this helps,

Hi Norbert,

thank you for your reply.

I think I'll go for option b).

But still could you try to explain how it could be done programaticaly?

This way this would work on any machine.

I just hope I can understand how to implement it 😉

Hi Daniel,

Here are some links that could help you manage the Login popup windows directly accessing to FrontEnd Callbacks.seq.

The first one is a Knowledge Base on how to disable user management.

The two others are examples making modifications in FrontEnd Callbacks.seq to customize Login with your needs.
