Homeseer status on Pronto

I'm not understanding your request. Do you login today from your application? How?

Are you trying to restrict your application to users that supply login info? If so, your application can handle that using the built-in user creation from HS and the new tenHsServer functions.

Are you trying to restrict access to tenHsServer? I think that right now, there are no restrictions to someone sending requests via web browser, etc. Is this true from your experience?

Please help me with more details on what you'd like to see tenHsServer provide.

Thanks,

tenholde

Ed,
I'm looking for a solution to restrict access to HS.

At the moment i have no restrictions for local access.
When set up restrictions for local access my pronto can't access the HS server.
Pronto is accessing the HS server with tenHsServer url to get the data.
On the pronto i have no possibility for username/password.

this is the way I access the server:
var IP = "192.168.1.100"
var URL = "/tenHSServer/tenHSserver.aspx?t=33&f=DeviceValue&d=^31.^2.^4.^6.^7.^9.^10.^12.^13.^15.^16.^18.^19.^21.^22.^24.^25.^26.^28";


I did try to put username and password in the "Var IP" line but this is not working.

i think he means to say, he wants some sort of authentication between his pronto and homeseer (and by doing so also disallows guests and such to do bad things on the page/url too) and also if possible something stronger then username/password since this can be sniffed from wifi networks easilly. (at least thats what i would want too)

I would have to do the following:

> Provide an option for tenHsServer (via .ini file) to turn on security

> If secrity is turn on, then each URL would have to have &u=user01&&p=passw included

> user01 would have to be defined to HS with a password of passw (for instance)

> another .ini parameter would define the required level of userid required to access tenHsServer (ie, Guest, Normal, Admin)

Does this work?

I don't see building anything stronger than password security, based upon the way the clients interact with the server.

Ed,
Sending PM for the user/password part

One thing what is still not working fine is the caching topic.
When I disable the Jon00 aspx page loader event to cache all the aspx page the display time on my pronto will be about 8-12 seconds

when the cache application is running (recurring event every 20 minutes) display time is <1 second.

On my Homeseer server I have 2 Gb memory available..no other applications are running on this machine.
are there any settings to let all the aspx pages stay in memory after first run or do I have to convert my Windows XP to Win2003?

PS. my Homeseer is running virtual in Vmware.
I will also check the memory options of Vmware

Should not need to convert from XP to Win2003. I am running my HS server on WinXP SP3.

New version of tenHsServer is now available at: http://www.tenholder.net/tenWare2


Security for tenHsServer has been implemented. You activate it by creating or editing the following file on your Homeseer server: Program Files\Homeseer2\Config\tenHsServer.ini

The contents should be:

[Security]
Mode=FullAccess


You can specify the following options via the Mode parameter:

FullAccess No userid nor password required on the tenHsServer URL
Guest A userid/password is required on the URL with at least Guest level access
Normal A userid/password is required on the URL with at least Normal level access
Admin a userid/password is required on the URL with Admin level access


You specify the userid and password via the &u and &p parmaters on the URL. For example:

?t=34265&f=GetDevice&d=a1.c4&u=guest&p=guest


If tenHsServer.ini does not exist, it will be created with a Mode of FullAccess

Chak about your ASP problem, did you disable the RFXCOM events to test if you get less errors in the event log?
If there are no errors left, see if it makes a difference with loading the APSX pages.

i think this has to do with some syntax error.
I have send the error to the Developer.
