List connected OPC clients by username used for DCOM authentication

List connected OPC clients by username used for DCOM authentication

When using other OPC products, like Schneider OFS, we are able to see a list of connected clients, listed by the domain user name which was used to authenticate against the OPC server using DCOM. It is very useful at identifying which clients are currently connected to an OPC server. Kepware does not provide this functionality. The closest seems to be by viewing the _System._OpcClientNames tag using an OPC client, however this does not work when an OPC client doesn't have a name defined, which is usually the case for our OPC clients (Pi, Citect), making it impossible to know which clients are connected to a Kepware OPC server. Whenever I connect via the quick client and view the _System._OpcClientNames tag, I only ever see QuickClient in the list even though there are multiple other clients connected.

 

Does anyone know if there's a way to achieve the above with the functionality currently available in Kepware? Or is this a feature that is simply not possible in Kepware? Currently using v6.13.250.0.

 

Thanks in advance
