Portal security not working

Post by daniella3d »

How to set up portal security?

I don't want anyone to start playing with my tank if anyone steel my iphone for exemple, or hack into my portal.

I set the password in the web portal, and not sure how to set that in the controller software? is there any instructions somewhere for this?

I modified the code to "username","password" and uploaded that but no matter what I do I can change anything without being asked for a password and I can hear the relay turning on or off.

Should that security prevent such thing? or ask for the set password??

No, it does not ask for password. This security feature is not fully developed yet.
What you have done in your code is correct. The passkey is simply to make sure the information coming to the server is really from your controller and not from someone else's controller.
You can easily change the port on which your wifi attachment is listening to.

Yep, that's done for a long time now but I am still nervous about it. I even have an application installed to remotely wipe the whole phone data in the event it gets stolen. I am a bit paranoid about my aquarium.

When will a security be implemented with the server? is that in progress?

I will definitly change the port, but I would much prefer a secure access.

This is already in the issue tracking system, but not much work has been done lately.
Would you like to help with the development?

Do you have any programming knowledge?
We need someone to develop the http authentication.
I have started it and it is in currently in the libraries, but some people have actually encountered problems with it.
So, it is not used right now.
Curt has logged the issue in the tracking system.

NO sorry I don't have any programming experience, so I could only help in testing, that's about it.

I can understand basic concept and what a piece of code does once it is there but I cannot write them or modify them to make it work.
