Align the GmsDefaultUser Passwords for Closed Mode

For closed mode to function, the Windows GMSDefaultUser passwords on all the stations must be identical, and also match the closed mode password set in SMC, and the Desigo CC GMSDefaultUser password set in the project.

If you have a problem with a mismatch, or if you need to change the GMSDefaultUser password because it is expired, perform this procedure to set the same password throughout.

  1. On each Desigo CC station, set the same Windows GMSDefaultUser password as follows:
    a. Click the Windows Start button, right-click Computer, and select Manage.
    b. In the Computer Management Console tree, select Users.
    c. Right-click the GmsDefaultUser user account, and click Set Password.
    d. Read the warning message and click Proceed.
    e. In the New password and Confirm password fields, enter the password you want to set.
    f. Click OK.
    g. Close the Computer Management window.
  1. Set a matching password for the closed mode service in SMC as follows:
    a. Launch SMC.
    b. Select the System node and open the Settings expander.
    c. In the closed mode Password field, enter the same password that you set for the Windows GMSDefaultUser accounts in the preceding step.
  1. Set a matching password for the GMSDefaultUser in Desigo CC as follows:
    a. Launch the Desigo CC client application.
    b. Set System Manager to Engineering mode.
    c.     In System Browser, select Management View.
    d. Select Project > System Settings > Users.
    e. Select GmsDefaultUser.
    f. In the Change Password expander, enter the password into the New password and Confirm new password fields. This must be the same password that you used in the preceding two steps.
    j. Click Apply.
  • The GMSDefaultUser passwords are aligned.
