Overview of i.LON 600 Web Page Security
The i.LON 600 Internet Server supports a Web page security feature that allows you to
restrict access to files under the i.LON ‘s /root/Web directory. Access may be secured
by user name/password, source IP address, or location of the resource (URL).
Web page security is defined using the i.LON Web Server Security and Parameters
software. This is a standard utility that is included in all i.LON software products.
To start this program, click START/PROGRAMS/Echelon i.LON 600/i.LON 600 Web
Server Security and Parameters or from the Configuration Server select i.LON Web
Server Security and Parameters from the Network menu. The i.LON 600 Web Server
Security and Parameters software creates a file called WebParams.dat. This file must be
uploaded to the i.LON 600’s root directory (/root/WebParams.dat) using a standard FTP
program overwriting a default WebParams.dat.
The WebParams.dat file is parsed by the i.LON 600 on startup to restrict access to Web
pages. Note that the WebParams.dat file is stored as plain text with no encryption or
password protection. This means that i.LON 600 security is protected from inspection by
FTP security (user name and password) only. Be sure to set the proper user name and
password for FTP access to prevent the WebParams.dat file from being viewed. Also, be
sure to secure the PC on which you generated the WebParams.dat file. See Chapter4,
i.LON 600 Security Web Page to set the FTP user name and password.
The default WebParams.dat files allow access to all files under the root/Web directory
from any location. The default user name is ilon and the default password is ilon. To
modify the user name and password fields, you must create a new (or edit an existing)
WebParams.dat file. This updated file must be uploaded to the i.LON 600 and the i.LON
600 must be rebooted for the new security settings to take effect. To update the settings,
perform the following steps:
1. Download the existing WebParams.dat file from the i.LON 600 using an FTP
application.
2. Start the i.LON Web Server Security and Parameters application, select Open
(File menu) and open the WebParams.dat file.
3. Click the ilon user name in the list.
