Haystack Compatibility

Below are some builds we have tested with. Go ahead and take a look based on what you have and see what is needed to get it connected. If what you have matches but get an error still, look at Haystack Troubleshooting to see if your issue can be resolved from there.

It is recommended to always verify if the same credentials work when connecting to the station via browser. If not, likely you have incorrect credentials or you have N4 with basic authentication set up on user which doesn't allow you to connect via browser or station. If the latter, then you are fine, otherwise you'll need to figure out why you can't connect through the browser first before even trying in FIN. If you can't hit it in the browser, then chances are you won't hit it with FIN either.

Where to find "HTTPBasicScheme"? This can be found in your Baja module on the Palette. Just add that to your Authentication Scheme Service.

Also, just a side note, we have heard Tridium has a bug when migrating users from AX to N4. Something about the authentication is broken. So it is recommended to create a new super/admin user and use that to connect to FIN.

You can find the nHaystack modules N4 here (soon to add AX): https://stackhub.org/package/nHaystack (in the mean time for AX, you can find them here: https://bitbucket.org/richiemac_77/nhaystack/downloads/)

The below FIN versions are referring to the framework version not build version.

HTTP Configuration with Standard FIN Install

HTTPS Configuration with Standard FIN Install

For HTTP, make sure "Https Only" is disabled if HTTPS is enabled.

For AX3.5, you will need a concurrent jar - https://project-haystack.org/forum/topic/306

Custom Haystack Pod - N4.3+ with FIN v2.1.15

If you are trying to connect to a N4.3.58.18 station or newer via FIN v2.1.15 use the below custom pod. This will allow you to connect to AX and N4 stations simultaneously. You'll need to do the below steps:

1. Install latest nhaystack jar files for N4 here: https://stackhub.org/package/nHaystack

   1. How to install nhaystack jar modules here.

2. Add NHaystackService to services container (go to palette and find nhaystack)

3. Then right click on NHaystackService to Initialize it

4. Make sure web service http or https ports are open depending on which you use

5. Create a new user account and set Authentication Scheme as DigestScheme

6. Thats it on the Niagara side, then on the FIN Framework side, stop the service

7. Install this custom haystack pod in the fan folder in the FIN directory (Should look something like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\FIN Framework0\FIN Framework <your version>\lib\fan):
