Admin page login via POST / GET variables

[killbox1986]

Hi,

I have a situation where we need to display the realtime monitor page on a smart TV, my first problem is that I do not get prompted to login when I click the "Administration" link. Is there a way to log in with POST / GET variables such as "http://10.0.0.14/vicidial/admin.php?user=user&pass=pass" or similar?

Thanks in advance.

You could try this method, although I don't believe it works in Microsoft Internet Explorer:

http://username:password@server/

It is a browser-specific thing, so you might want to try a few different web browsers to see where it works and doesn't work.

you can edit the page to show without credentials for a specific local IP address. (or more safely to assume credentials if specific IP address).

then to be funny, you could sponsor that as an "add on feature" so you could put that somewhere in system settings: a list of "real time display without credentials" IP addresses.

other just have a special wallboard page made up. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=35850
