In Your Opinion...
Which platform provides the most comfortable (from YOUR Administrative / Security perspective) solution for remote users on other networks? I have to provide access that allows some control to some items but "read only" to most, and I have to configure these controls per "portal", not per user. I dont want a user from one machine logging onto a different machine leaving control available to someone else. Some users that will receive access have a View Only node on thier desk wired directly into my network through a VLAN config. I am looking for a better solution. Browser based access seems to be the the easiest to implement and requires nothing from the users machine.
The "Read Only" users could potentially end up being the general Public so that access portal would have to be under some very tight controls. Perhaps that solution would be a screen shot updated via FTP to a web server somewhere... Thats probably safer.
But the ones with some or all controls available, If any are decided in the end, would need to to behave just like the standard SCADA nodes.
Bottom line ... in your opinion... is "iFIX WebSpace" all it advertises or is RDP a better solution. Or is there something else?
Opinions? Caveats? Feedback?
