Changing the Web Interface uid/passwd
This steps below describe how to add/change the User/Password for the Web Interface.
This can also be done by Connecting to the USB Console Port and following these steps.
1. Connect to the reader using SSH or Telnet
> telnet [reader IP address]
User: root
Pass: secure
2. Use the httpPassword command:
Usage: httpPassword <filename> <realm> <username>
To create a new userid/password file:
[root@m6-21071f] $ cd /tmp
[root@m6-21071f] $ httpPassword -c users.db thingmagic rfid_user
New password:
Confirm password:
[root@m6-21071f] $ mv /tmp/users.db /etc/appWeb/users.db
To add a user to an existing file:
[root@m6-21071f] $ cd /tmp
[root@m6-21071f] $ cp /etc/appWeb/users.db /tmp/users.db
[root@m6-21071f] $ httpPassword users.db thingmagic another_user
New password:
Confirm password:
[root@m6-21071f] $ mv /tmp/users.db /etc/appWeb/users.db
Note: don't use "-c" when adding users as this creates a new password file.
3. Verify the file contains the new information
[root@m6-21071f] $ cd /etc/appWeb
[root@m6-21071f] $ cat users.db
1: another_user: thingmagic: d7828175fdbf4f733c356b50a6706b24
1: web: thingmagic: 92801793e4875ae8da987402c3dd468f
4. Reboot the reader; login
Note
In the steps above, for step 2 there are two different methods of creating a new
user/password. The first creates a new user/password file which means it
overwrites the existing file and deletes any existing user/passwords. That means
web/radio will no longer work. In the second set of steps it adds user/passwords to
