Tips for Adding a Web Browser Interface

To configure the Web Browser Interface, you must gather some
information from the HTML source to help identify the actual field names
of the Username and Password fields. All vendors implement these
authentication fields differently, and the names of these fields vary from
device to device, as well as among firmware versions for a particular
device. For this reason, there isn't a single method for finding the field
names. See the procedure below for one possible method.

You may want the help of a software engineer or system administrator to
locate and identify the proper field names.

Tip for locating field names:

1. In the HTML source code for the login page of the web application,

search for the field's label, such as Username and Password.

2. When you find the field label, look in the adjacent code for a tag that

looks like this: name="user"

The word in quotes is the field name.
