Abstract: A method for operating a web server implemented on a computer, wherein in a launch phase, a web server process ignores requests from clients and a further process having elevated permissions of the web server process is started by the web server process, where the further process serves to execute actions with access to a predefined operating system area, following the launch phase, the web server process transitions to normal operation such that when the web server process then receives a request requiring an action with access to the predefined operating system area, the permissibility of the received request is checked by the web server process and in the event of a permissible request, the web server process and the further process communicate, which prompts the further process to execute the action with the required access to the predefined operating system area.

Abstract: A method for visual display unit-based parameterization of interfaces of the software components of an automation system, the interface being a software interfaces having at least one interface parameter. The interface parameter is further characterized by at least one attribute. A display window is provided which can be divided horizontally or vertically, the hierarchical structure of the interface parameters of the respective software components of the automation system, which parameters can be selected using a movable cursor, being displayed in a first partial window, and the at least one attribute of the selected interface parameter being displayed in a second partial window.
