Autologin with Browser

Question

Hi,

I have a Igel Thinclient with Mozilla Firefox and a Wallmount 42" Flatscreen to see Status Overview all the Time. In PA I activated the "Login required" Feature for reports to allow my Customers the access to there own reports (new Feature in V5 beta).

Now my Problem: The Igel automatically power off on the evening and starts up in the morning. Since I activated the "Login required" Feature I have to login on the Igel too. Is there a special URL or another chance to have autologin for the Igel?

Regards

You can now login via the URL by passing the following parameters:

USERNAME

PASSWORD

So you could have http://{server}:{port}/index.htm?USERNAME=doug&PASSWORD=pw

Of course it's important to only do this on a protected system, and to assign the user limited rights such a View Reports only.

That's a really great idea. I'm not sure if I'd recommend passing login credentials on the URL, but if you're running in a secure environment, AND you've restricted the login to be a view-only account, then it seems safe.

We'll add this feature in the next couple of days and I'll return here to let you know about it.
