Web Security With Media Server

Post by AstroGuy » Mon Sep 21, 2009 6:42 pm

Hello,

How does one go about securing access to the web interface when using Windows Home Server. I can access the web interface from the internet without any login credentials and see no way to activate such a service. It has to be there somewhere and a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

RPC comes to the rescue:

From a web browser use

Code: Select all

http://ip-of-server:9000/rpc/set_option?accessuser=your-username
and

Code: Select all

http://ip-of-server:9000/rpc/set_option?accesspwd=your-password

Code: Select all

http://ip-of-server:9000/rpc/get_option?accessuser
and

Code: Select all

http://ip-of-server:9000/rpc/get_option?accesspwd
will return the current values (pwd is not returned in clear text so is no help if you forget it - just set it to something else if you do).
