Re: What happens [if the password is changed]?
I believe that I explained this, but perhaps not. I'll try again.
You can physically change the password for Fox on a workstation.
If you change the password for Fox, you need to change it on EVERY service on
the machine that is running as the user Fox. Failure to change it properly in
all such services will result in those services failing to run. The
capabilities that are lost depend on the service.
If you change the password for Fox, you may break other capabilities because
they could have an embedded password for Fox.
Of course, you need to make the change on every machine in your system.
As Tadeo mentioned, you can get some information from our standard
documentation - B0700DX I/A Series(r) System
Security Enhancements User's Guide. Despite the name, it applies to Foxboro Evo
as well.
Beyond that, our cyber-security team exists to help out clients understand
their options. That team handles both our equipment and that from other
vendors. If you are interested, here are some contacts:
1) Glen Bounds (Worldwide) - glen.bounds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
2) Josh Carlson (The Americas) - Joshua.E.Carlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3) Jay Abdallah (EMEA) - jay.abdallah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I hope this addresses some of your concerns. We aren't trying to hide anything.
Cyber-security is simply a very expansive topic and our Standard Edition
software required a significant investment to make it truly capable of
hardening. Some things can be done with Standard Edition and the people above
are ready, willing, and able to help, but those efforts are limited by the
inability to change the password and retain the functionality of the system.
I hope that this helps explain the situation.
Best,
Alex
