Web Console Security

[johndavidjack]

TwonkyMedia Server
5.0.46 - Trial Version

I've found documentation for username/passwords for the web console, but even after trying that, restarting the service, etc, it does not work. In fact, when I modify the file in the users home area, everytime I restart the service, the changes I make to the file are wiped out.

I've noticed other posts mention more settings/options in the web console, but for me, there aren't a ton of settings.

For reference, the Twonky Server is running on a Centos Brandz Zone (from an opensolaris host). I don't have any issues finding media, watching movies and such, but I would like to secure this application...

Thanks in advance, and let me know if there is any more necessary info that could help.

I am trying to figure out if we can possibly use carefully placed .htaccess password file to accomplish this. Unfortunately I am not finding any files that remotely resemble web files so I don't know where to start. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place...
While I am glad that I could just make sure I don't have the web console's port open to the internet through my firewall I want to be the only person (plus anyone else I give log-in credentials to) on the network that could manage the server.

Have you tried using RPC calls to set these parameters instead?

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).

Thank you PeeBee, that is exactly what I needed.

The info was already on the site - I just copied the text from a previous post I made. A search of the site should have found it.
