FS1 Installation and Operation Manual — Remote FS1 Control Via a Web
FS1 Web Interface, Miscellaneous Screen: Authentication set to “Basic Password”
Notes:
1.
AJA recommends using the
Disabled
setting, unless it is absolutely necessary to use
the
Basic
setting, since the authentication used is only as good as the underlying
network security. This is due to the password being sent across the network in clear
text.
Security follows the
Basic
authentication defined in RFC2617, which can be read at
this URL:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt
.
2.
The default value is
Disabled
. Once changed to
Basic
, only entering the password or a
dual button factory reset will change this parameter back to
Disabled
, the single UP
button factory reset will not (see parameter
99.0
for information).
3.
Changing
Authentication
to
Disable
d resets the
System Password
parameter to the
default password, which is “password”.
4.
If you select
Basic Password
authentication, the default password will initially be used
(until you set a password with
Set Password
).
5.
After you select
Basic Password
authentication, your browser immediately requires a
password before further interaction is allowed, as indicated by a browser dialog box.
The browser then prompts for a username/password for all access to the FS1. The FS1
ignores any supplied username and uses only the password during authentication. If
prompted for a password more than once, please re-enter the proper password each
time you are asked. Some browsers may store the password, which may require you
to turn off or clear password caching in the browser before you can use a new
password. Consult the browser help feature for instructions.
