CODESYS Forge - CODESYS Forge / Talk / Visualization 🇬🇧: Authentication in Webvisu

rombo130 - 2020-11-09

Hello everyone,

I'm using Webvisu on chromium in kiosk mode to monitor some variables from a screen placed near the Raspberry.
My problem is that every time I restart the system, the kiosk mode starts but a login window pops up, with the Webvisu loading forever in the background (picture attached). Here, I can login with any of the users added in the 'Users and Groups' tab.
I need to eliminate this because the system needs to be minimal (no keyboard nor mouse) and it will be used by different operators.

I noticed that by eliminating completely the User management, it's solved, but this is not an option for me bc I need to keep it.

Bottom line: how can I disable the need for Webvisu authentication on Codesys?

Thanks in advance,
F

Hey,
I am sorry to say, but the option to not require a runtime user login was only added with runtimes >= 3.5.14.0

Best regards,
Marcel

  It is disabled by default.
  If you however require a file service, you have to do a runtime login.

    I apologize for not being more clear what my question is. I'm trying to clarify the answer to the original question which is (basically paraphrased...)
    
    "how can the User Management be enabled but not required for webvisu only"
    
    I want to protect my controller against unauthorized downloads/uploads and prevent access to the code but I don't want to require a login for the webvisu pages.
    
    Is it possible to access the webvisu pages without password or create a user with no password that can access the webvisu pages? If so, how is this done?

      If you are using a runtime version >= 3.5.14.0, you should not be required to provide a runtime login.
      This is however the case, if you have one of the following two settings active in your CODESYSControl.cfg:
      AllowFileTransferServices=1
      CallVisuServicesDirectly=0
