Sidebar's 'Signed in as' line now wraps the display name in a link to /account so the existing sidebar-compact view becomes the entry point for the fuller page — keeps the sign-out button where it was for muscle memory, just adds the detail page one click away. Page is gated with [Authorize] (any authenticated admin) rather than a specific role — the capability table deliberately works for every signed-in user so they can see what they DON'T have access to, which helps them file the right ticket with their LDAP admin instead of getting a plain Access Denied when navigating blindly.
Capability → required-role table is defined as a private readonly record list in the page rather than pulled from a service because it's a UI-presentation concern, not runtime policy state — the runtime policy IS Program.cs's AddAuthorizationBuilder + each page's [Authorize] attribute, and this table just mirrors it for operator readability. Comment on the list reminds future-me to extend it when a new policy or [Authorize] page lands. No behavior change if roles are empty, but the page surfaces a hint ('Sign-in would have been blocked, so if you're seeing this, the session claim is likely stale') that nudges the operator toward signing out + back in.
No new tests added — the page is pure display over claims; its only logic is the 'has-capability' Any-overlap check which is exactly what ASP.NET's [Authorize(Roles=...)] does in-framework, and duplicating that in a unit test would test the framework rather than our code. Admin.Tests Unit stays 23 pass / 0 fail. Admin build clean.

LmxOpcUa
OPC UA server and cross-platform client tools for AVEVA System Platform (Wonderware) Galaxy. The server exposes Galaxy tags via MXAccess as an OPC UA address space. The client stack provides a shared library, CLI tool, and Avalonia desktop application for browsing, reading/writing, subscriptions, alarms, and historical data.

Server
The OPC UA server runs on .NET Framework 4.8 (x86) and bridges the Galaxy runtime to OPC UA clients.
Server Prerequisites
- .NET Framework 4.8 SDK
- AVEVA System Platform with ArchestrA Framework installed
- Galaxy repository database (SQL Server, Windows Auth)
- MXAccess COM registered (
LMXProxy.LMXProxyServer) - Wonderware Historian (optional, for historical data access)
- Windows (required for COM interop and MXAccess)
Build and Run Server
dotnet restore ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.slnx
dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host
The server starts on opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa with the None security profile by default. Configure Security.Profiles in appsettings.json to enable Basic256Sha256-Sign or Basic256Sha256-SignAndEncrypt for transport security. See Security Guide.
Install as Windows Service
cd src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host/bin/Debug/net48
ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe install
ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe start
Service logon requirement: The service must run under a Windows account that has access to the AVEVA Galaxy and Historian. The default LocalSystem account can connect to MXAccess and SQL Server but cannot authenticate with the Historian SDK (HCAP). Configure the service to "Log on as" a domain or local user that is a recognized ArchestrA platform user. This can be set in services.msc or during install with ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe install -username DOMAIN\user -password ***.
Run Server Tests
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Tests
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.IntegrationTests
Client Stack
The client stack is cross-platform (.NET 10) and consists of three projects sharing a common IOpcUaClientService abstraction. No AVEVA software or COM is required — the clients connect to any OPC UA server.
Client Prerequisites
- .NET 10 SDK
- No platform-specific dependencies (runs on Windows, macOS, Linux)
