Save browser password for S600 Flowmeter

Hi,

Does anyone know a way/ browser which saves the username and password to login to S600 flowmeters?

We're building a remote support solution, this has a web browser in kiosk mode that autoconnects to the S600.

We manage user access on a Citrix server and don't want users to have to know the passwords set on the S600 so that these can be complex and not require changing on the flowmeters themselves (we have password policy on the Citrix server).

I've tried both internet explorer and chrome- both let me save the password but don't use it next time as the url changes with what I think is a session id, ie:-

1) Open http://192.168.0.1

2) Browser displays http://192.168.0.1/aaaaaaaaa/fpdf.cgi and get save username/ password prompt.

3) Save credentials and check the browser password store- these are correctly displayed against the address in step 1)

4) If I try to log in again, the url will have changed slightly  (ie to http://192.168.0.1/bbbbbbbbbb/fpdf.cgi and prompted for credentials again

Thanks in advance!

  • The answer for the S600 is not easily. The whole idea is the browser cannot be left connected for third party access, maximum timeout is 300 seconds for display, 120 for logout, and the data transferred from the browser passwords are not cached. It is a requirement from MID approvals I believe.
    They could use a script to call the browser from the citrix server to login so they need                      


     
    we would not be able to support any code they write for this in python.


    They could then use an external conf file to the pyscript actually store the username and password instead of in the link so no one can see them.
