Explanation

In a typical Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture for OT networks, a remote authentication server for an Industrial Control System (ICS) should be located in the Edge component of the hierarchy. The Edge layer is where critical security functions are implemented to protect the lower-level control systems, making it the appropriate placement for an authentication server that validates user credentials before granting access to the OT network.
