Push notifications of connections and disconnections

Connecting and disconnecting of devices triggers push notifications for every channel.

It is not important how the connection was established or disconnected (e.g. via OSD

or XML).

Configuration and encryption

As of version 1.1, the XML API supports two ways of encryption:

Transport encryption:

If this type of encryption is enabled, the entire outgoing data

stream is encrypted by the XML service.
Incoming XML commands are only accepted and executed when encrypted with

the identical key and initialisation vector.

Password encryption:

This type of encryption encrypts only the passwords of user

accounts included in XML responses of G&D devices. For this, a subset of XML

encryption (see page 121) is used.
Within XML commands, passwords can either be encrypted (recommended) or

in plain text when sent to the device.

Both types of encoding use the

CBC-3DES

algorithm. The required key and the initial-

ization vector (only required with transport encryption) are configured in the web

application Config Panel.

PUSH NOTIFICATION WHEN ESTABLISHING A CONNECTION

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<root>

<pushNotification type="connection_event">

<consoleId>0x22222222</consoleId>

<consoleCl>DviConsole</consoleCl>

<targetId>0x33333333</targetId>

<targetCl>DviCpu</targetCl>

<userName>JohnDoe</userName>

<userRealname>John Doe</userRealname>

</pushNotification>

</root>

PUSH NOTIFICATION WHEN DISCONNECTING A CONNECTION

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<root>

<pushNotification type="disconnection_event"

><consoleId>0x22222222</consoleId>

<consoleCl>DviConsole</consoleCl>

</pushNotification>

</root>

ADVICE:

When evaluating push notifications, you can reproduce any switching pro-

cesses of the device, for example.
