Topic: FOSHKplugin question about restricting to a specific device.

Good afternoon!

Does anyone have an example of how to place the below in the URL within WS_View

Code: [Select]

?auth=[PASSKEY]
and I would need to add this to the config:

Code: [Select]

AUTH_PWD = PASSKEY # if set, only incoming & outgoing http-requests containing this passphrase will be accepted
Thank you for the help!

Hi!

FOSHKplugin only checks whether the string specified under AUTH_PWD is contained in the incoming http string. In this respect, you can simply use the PASSKEY - this is always contained in the Ecowitt upload string.
If you want to access the web interface of FOSHKplugin, you should then append ?auth=[PASSKEY] to the respective URL. E.g.: http://ipaddress:port/FOSHKplugin/help?auth=000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F

Keep in mind:
I advise against using FOSHKplugin on a server accessible from the Internet. The protection via AUTH_PWD is minimal. However, it basically works and I know some users who do it this way. I would not.

Perfect solution. This is exactly what I needed. 

I can't thank you enough.
