Security information 1 Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines, and networks. In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement and continuously maintain a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens products and solutions only form one element of such a concept. Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate security measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place. Additionally, Siemens guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into account. For more information about industrial security, please visit: http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity. Siemens products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer s exposure to cyber threats. To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS Feed under http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity. Readme, 02/2017, A5E40700191-AA 5

Notes on installation 3.5 New installation Using SIMATIC Logon in combination with PCS 7, WinCC, WinCC flexible Check the compatibility by using the following link: Entry ID 64847781 (http://support.automation.siemens.com/ww/view/de/64847781) The entry referenced in this link has the entry ID 64847781. 3.4.2 Memory requirements SIMATIC Logon requires approximately 250 MB of space on your hard disk. 3.5 New installation 3.5.1 Installation of SIMATIC Logon V1.6 SIMATIC Logon is installed by the system setup on the CD. Select the entry "SIMATIC Logon V1.6". You can install SIMATIC Logon over a previously installed version of SIMATIC Logon. 3.5.2 Licensing of SIMATIC Logon V1.6 Before you can work with SIMATIC Logon, you must transfer the license (usage authorization) to your computer from the USB stick with the license key. You have two options to do this: During the installation phase of SIMATIC Logon, the "Setup" program will display a message informing you that the appropriate license is not installed on your computer. You can then select whether you wish to have the "Setup" program install the license or whether you wish to install it later using the Automation License Manager program. If you cannot install the license with Setup, continue Setup without installing the license. You can install the license at a later time with the start menu command Start > SIMATIC > License Management > Automation License Manager or Start > Programs > Siemens Automation > SIMATIC > License Management > Automation License Manager. The license for SIMATIC Logon V1.6 must be installed on a local drive. Readme, 02/2017, A5E40700191-AA 11

Notes on installation 3.5 New installation 3.5.3 Deinstallation of SIMATIC Logon V1.6 Note Software products must be removed according to Windows conventions. To do this, open the Windows application "Add/Remove Software" (in the taskbar under Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Software) and remove "SIMATIC Logon V1.6". This is the only safe way to remove software under Windows. 12 Readme, 02/2017, A5E40700191-AA

Notes on usage 4 4.1 General information Note Please read these notes carefully; they contain important information and additional details about SIMATIC Logon V1.6. These notes take precedence over statements made in the manuals and online help. 4.2 Notes on Windows workgroups When using a central login computer in connection with a Windows workgroup, remote queries of user, computer, and group information cannot be executed under certain circumstances. This is the case if the role management of SIMATIC Logon does not list any users and groups after you select the central login computer. If this happens, central user administration in connection with a Windows workgroup can be supported by activating the remote query of user, computer, and group information in Windows on the login computer. You can find details at: Internet link (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/device-security/security-policysettings/network-access-restrict-clients-allowed-to-make-remote-sam-calls) NOTICE Security information Activating this function results in a decreased level of security on the local computer across the entire operating system and is not recommended. In such cases, however, remote access will continue to be logged in the Windows Event Log. We recommend using a domain environment to ensure central user administration in accordance with the latest security standards. 4.3 Notes on the online help In rare cases, it may occur that no help topics are offered in the "Find" tab after you execute the "Find Setup Wizard". Remedy: Copy the file "slhelp_b.fts" from the help directory (e.g. C:\WINNT\Help) to the directory in which the online help "slhelp_b.hlp" is located. Readme, 02/2017, A5E40700191-AA 13

Notes on usage 4.6 Notes on the operating systems 4.4 Note on smart card use Make sure that you rewrite all smart cards that were written with a version of SIMATIC Logon prior to Version V1.3. This is necessary because SIMATIC Logon as of Version V1.3 uses an improved encryption for the smart card. You will not be able to log on with a smart card that has not been updated. However, you can always log on with your logon name and password. If you have logged on with a smart card and remove this smart card during configuration in the SIMATIC Logon role management, all changes that you have not saved at this point are discarded. Reinserting the card will not solve this problem. An error event may be reported in the Windows Event Viewer when a smart card is removed or inserted. This behavior is known and does not result in a malfunction with SIMATIC Logon. The same applies to permanent operation with smart card. [see also Microsoft Knowledge Base Article ID: 936156] 4.5 Notes on the SIMATIC Logon Event Log Viewer If you want to print the events in the event log, proceed as follows: Click "Export" and export the events in XML or CSV format. Print the exported file. In the filter dialog, the date and time are always displayed based on the settings you have made in Windows for the date and time. A display conforming to ISO 8601 is not possible. 4.6 Notes on the operating systems You can see the a "SIMATIC Logon" link on the desktop. Clicking on the link opens the Windows Explorer with the actual links to the SIMATIC Logon programs. They can be immediately started by clicking on them. Note Press the right mouse button on this link and select the menu command "Pin to Start" to make this link available on the start screen. This makes it faster and easier to open the program. In order to ensure reliable operation of SIMATIC Logon, you may neither delete nor modify those files that can be selected via the menu command Start > Programs > Siemens Automation > SIMATIC > SIMATIC Logon > Documents and Settings or the link "SIMATIC Logon" > Documents and Settings with the exception of the files in the "Diagnostics" folder, which are used for diagnostic purposes and may be deleted if necessary. If a computer is to be used as the logon computer for SIMATIC Logon, activate file and printer sharing as an exception in the Windows Firewall (search in the taskbar for "Windows Firewall", start it and click "Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall". Activate file and printer sharing there). 14 Readme, 02/2017, A5E40700191-AA

Notes on usage 4.7 Configuring SIMATIC Logon Slow response of on-screen keyboard In Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012, the "Microsoft OSK" and "HMI TouchInputPC" on-screen keyboards start very slowly. This delay is caused by the Internet certificate check with callback. You can find measures to prevent possible delays from arising under entry ID 87057037 (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/87057037) in the Industry Online Support 4.7 Configuring SIMATIC Logon In contrast to the information provided in the "Configuring SIMATIC Logon" of the documentation, the following applies: The user logged on in Windows must be a member of this group: Windows group "Logon_Administrator" The user to be logged on in "Configure SIMATIC Logon" must be a member of this group: Windows group "Logon_Administrator" This group is created automatically by the setup program on the local computer. If you also want to create and use this group on a domain, you have to add the domain group to the local Windows group "Logon_Administrator" to ensure that the mechanism works.
