Actually he mentioned that he doesn't want to store auth passwords in his end.
We do have an issue open for read only anonymous access:
https://github.com/reefangel/Libraries/issues/197
Should be coming on the next release.

Just tried it and the Portal is giving me an Unreachable Address and Reeftronics is "Due to communication error, real-time status information is unavailable".

The dev code I got from here https://github.com/reefangel/Libraries/tree/dev.

Wait. Something else is going on. I switched back to the released code and the Portal is still showing Unreachable Address, but the Andriod App is working fine.

I need to look into this a bit more.

Using the released code the portal works fine if I comment out the authentication in my code and remove it from my profile.

If I add it back in it connects and reads ready.

If I switch to the dev code with my authentication info in the profile I get Unreachable Address on the portal.

Trying to follow along as had to update my IP address and the IOS App is working fine after the address change but when I updated the Portal IP address I get "unreachable address". If I click on the IP address above the status a new tab opens up with "Reef Angel Controller Web Server". Not sure what is going on...

I think it is fixed this time.

If this works, we probably need to contact reeftronics to tell them the anonymous page is /sa and not /r99 anymore

Yeah, my wife and son said the goat was excellent. I was not feeling adventurous and didn't try it.

I loaded the new dev code and it is connection to the portal fine now and staying connected, before I believe it would connect after the initial loading of the code and then a bit later it would not and give me an unavailable address message.

What do I need to have Russ at reeftronics do to see if it works there?

I'm pretty sure he is pulling data from /r99.
We need to tell them to change it to /sa.

Ok. I'll ask him to try, but before I do that I want to make sure that the code is working properly and we won't be changing things on him.

I just noticed that since putting the new dev code in that the Android app is giving me errors...

Error 13 Device Authentication Error.
check your username and password settings.

Russ has enabled the /sa in the Reeftronics website. So if you enable the web authentication on your code it will still send information to Reeftronics.
Done! Well, that was surprisingly easy.

Apparently that /sa URI has been available all along. I was anticipating needing to modify my code to test if /r99 resulted in an authentication failure, then try /sa if needed. But I found that /sa works on all RAs on Reeftronics, so the necessary code change was really quite simple.

So does it query both or is there an option, or you have to resend your info to Russ? There's not much for Settings on the site..

Not sure. It sounds like it is querying the sa.
Maybe a better question for Russ to answer.

I'm getting periodic 401 Auth errors from Reeftronics. I know Russ uses /sa to get the data, so it shouldn't be throwing this error. I'm trying to find where in the code it checks for Auth and am not locating it. Can you explain a bit where in RA_Wifi it checks to see if you're authenticated and where it might deliver up the 401 error defined in RA_Wifi.h as SERVER_DENY? I can't find any reference anywhere to that one.

Alan;
Did you get anywhere with this?
I'm not getting 401 errors, but I am getting emails from Reeftronics saying they were unable to connect to my controller a lot more often then when i didn't have the authentication on.
