Simple File Networking HTTP Account

None

Currently I have HD220's and HD1010w's connecting to an internal test server and it's downloading the required presentaions as required, without any issues

However I when I add HTTP user account and permissions to the web server (which is working fine via IE) I am unable to get any of the bright sign units to pass the username and password to the HTTP login request.

I've tried adding the user account to "enable local webserver" in the configure a brightsign unit.

<lwsUserName>testlab</lwsUserName>

<lwsPassword>password</lwsPassword>

Also editted the current-sync.xml by adding the account in here

<account>ACCOUNT</account>

<user>testlab</user>

<password>password</password>

<group>Simple Networking</group>

</server>

Then after some forum hunting I came across this thread

http://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=33163&p=307800&hilit=simple+file+networking#p307800

And followed it to the letter, but it only produces errors on the unit's inital boot, and no changes to the autorun.brs file

Both types units are updated to the latest firmware and I'm using BrightSign Author 3.0.0.19

Any idea's?

There isn't a setting in brightauthor for user names and passwords, but this can be done in the autorun script. Brightscript allows for adding credentials, but it's a script change, it's not something you can do in BrightAuthor easily.

And generally speaking, this change is not really secure, because credentials are sent in unencrypted form. Someone can sniff a traffic and get your credentials. If security is really important, we suggest to use the BrightSign network.

Send to support the modified autorun.brs you were using so we can see the changes you made
