The software requirements for the administration PC are described in the "Operation and Administration” manual [2] and in the online help. Of these requirements, the following points are relevant to security:
The execution of JavaScript in the web browser is both possible and permissible.
If the execution of JavaScript is not permitted on the administration PC, the SE Manager cannot be used.Cookies are permitted in the web browser.
If no cookies are permitted on the administration PC, the SE Manager cannot be used.The SE Manager generates and uses a number of cookies:
One cookie is used to manage the session.
Another cookie stores - on a cross-session basis - the language setting selected explicitly by the user in the SE Manager.
In addition, further temporary cookies are used to manage current settings (e.g. whether the tree structure is expanded or collapsed) or for other technical purposes (e.g. for variable object lists in the tree structure).
Security-relevant actions
Depending on the configuration, web browsers offer the Store password function. You are recommended not to use this function because then a Show password function which displays passwords in plain text is as a rule also available.
