Problems solved by technology

However, it requires tedious work and takes time to go to geographically dispersed locations of individual client devices, delete or change the authentication information from the local maintenance console
Also, if a customer's local maintenance console has been deleted, maintenance workers will have to go through the tedious work of reconnecting
Once the authentication information is deleted, maintenance from the remote maintenance console cannot be performed during system operation, and workers will go through the troublesome work of going again to the location where the customer's equipment is located and setting the authentication information
In other words, it is difficult for the maintenance interface user authentication system for traditional client / server distributed systems to ensure security and facilitate maintenance

[0088] refer to figure 1 , the client / server type distribution system according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a server device 1, a plurality of client devices 3 and a remote maintenance console 5 connected together on a LAN 6 in a mutually communicable manner. The local maintenance console 2 is connected to the server device 1 through a serial interface or the like, and the local maintenance console 4 is connected to each client device 3 . Hereafter, the local maintenance console connected to the server device 1 is called "server-side local maintenance console", and the local maintenance console connected to client device 3 is called "client-side local maintenance console". The client-side local maintenance console 4 is temporarily in the working cycle for the client device 3 to set or change the system data of the client device 3, and during system operation, it does not have to be connected. The server-side local maintenance console 2 monitors failure...

[0130] refer to Figure 12 , according to the client / server distribution system of the second embodiment of the present invention and figure 1 The difference of the shown client / server type distribution system according to the first embodiment of the present invention is that the local request processing section 34 is removed from each client device 3 in the first embodiment to prohibit local maintenance control from the client side The station 4 sets and invalidates the user authentication information into the user authentication section 32 of the client device 3, while the other sections are the same as the first embodiment.

[0131] In this embodiment, the user authentication information (user name and password) for opening the maintenance interface 30 of the client device 3 from the remote maintenance console 5 through the LAN 6 can only be set at the server side local maintenance console 2 through the LAN 6. In the client device 3, and from the server-side local maintena...

[0134] refer to Figure 13 , according to the client / server distribution system of the third embodiment of the present invention and Figure 12 The difference of the shown client / server type distribution system according to the second embodiment of the present invention is that the server device 1 in the third embodiment has an encryption section 13 for encrypting user names and passwords, and each client device 3 There is a decryption section 36 for decrypting the encrypted user name and password, and the other sections are the same as the second embodiment.

[0135] Figure 14 is a flowchart describing an example of processing performed by the server device 1 when a user authentication information setting request is input at the server-side local maintenance console 2, and figure 2 The difference of the flow chart shown is that steps S301 to S303 are added. When a system administrator or the like inputs a user authentication information setting request including informat...

Abstract

A request receiving section of a server device receives, from a server-side console, an information setting request including user authentication information and designation of a client device and a setting nullification request including designation of a client device, and a request transfer section transfers the requests to a designated client device over a LAN. A remote request processing section of a client device sets user authentication information in the received setting request in a user authentication section which authenticates a user who uses a maintenance interface, and opens the maintenance interface(i.e during log-on). When receiving the setting nullification request, the remote request processing section nullifies the user authentication information set in the user authentication section and closes the maintenance interface. Accordingly, a client / server type distribution system can remotely open and close the maintenance interface of a client device from the server device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a maintenance interface user verification method and equipment in a client / server distributed system, and more particularly relates to a method that can be set or invalidated by a server equipment on a network when using a maintenance interface set in a client equipment. A method and device for maintaining interface user verification of user verification information for user verification. Background technique [0002] In a client / server distributed system, the client devices are geographically dispersed in different places, and in some cases, the remote maintenance console on the LAN performs remote maintenance on the independent client devices during the system operation. maintain. However, because the remote maintenance on the LAN should ensure its security, only those who know the user information set in advance are allowed to use the maintenance interface of the client equipment. Specifically, using a remote maint...
