Security

A password query for the visualization can be set up in this tab.
Further security information can be found under Security.

Security menu in the instance configuration of the visualization

Required password

For each visualization instance a password can be assigned as access protection. This password is required before accessing the respective visualization via browser and the mobile apps. Additionally, the special option can be activated that the password is not required within the local network. This password is only valid for access to the system and its components.
If no password is set, external access is blocked by default. However, if the visualization is deliberately to be publicly accessible, this can be deactivated with the option "Allow external access, even if no password is set". The query of the available visualizations is possible at any time without password.

Autostart for IP address

A special function is the autostart, which opens a visualization directly without password query, if the IP address matches one of the entered IP addresses in this list. This function can be used, for example, to open a visualization directly on a touch panel without displaying the normal selection dialog and without having to answer the password query. Please note that this function should only be used within a secure network.

Warning

The CIDR notation is supported, so that e.g. 192.168.1.0/24 contains all addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255

Warning

This function is not available if requests to IP-Symcon go through a reverse proxy or through the Connect service, because the origin cannot be verified safely and reliably then. An exception is the CIDR value 0.0.0.0/0, which redirects all requests regardless of the origin and is therefore basically unsafe. This is also evaluated for the above exceptions and thus redirects all requests regardless of origin

call_via_URL

There are situations (e.g. in connection with NAT) where autostart via IP does not work. In these cases a URL can be opened directly.

// Basic structure for the URL call
http://<SymconIP>:3777/#<visualizationID>

// Example as start with the Chromium Browser
// VisualizationInstanceID: = 12345
chromium-browser --start-fullscreen 192.168.1.123:3777/#12345
Any questions?
