Password based login page for TP Design

overclocker

hello ---

Does any have suggestion for implementing a password UI page for a project that will existing on an inwall panel?
I will need to change the password/pin from time to time. I envision a "Pin Pad" where the user eners a four digit code to get access to the interface. Is there a sample for this? How about a screen saver timeout?

Thanks -Lou

The easiest way is to use the panels built in password page.
Make your project flip to a welcome page on a timeout, have a full screen button on the welcome page that flips to the main page and set "Password Protection" (on the buttons General tab) to one of the panels system passwords.

DEFINE_DEVICE
dvTP = 10001:1:0;

DEFINE_VARIABLE
INTEGER iTimeoutMax = 1000;
INTEGER iTimeoutCurrent;

DEFINE_EVENT
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP, 0]
{
	PUSH: iTimeoutCurrent = iTimeoutMax ;
}

DEFINE_PROGRAM
WAIT 10
{
	IF(iTimeoutCurrent = 1)
	{
		iTimeoutCurrent--;
		SEND_COMMAND dvTP, "'PAGE-WELCOME";
	}
	ELSE IF (iTimeoutCurrent > 1)
		iTimeoutCurrent--;
}

You can set an inactivity page timeout right in the panel and you don't need any code.

AMX already thought of this. It's documented.

If only i could get someone to read my mind and teach me all of those basic things i have missed over the years and skip all of the things i already know!

I fondly remember a day years ago after loading hundreds of rack nuts when someone asked why i didn't just use a rack nut inserter then showing me one. A mixture of elation and the desire to blame him for my ignorance. I don't accidentally stab myself in the hand with screwdrivers near as much since that day.

...not to sound dumb, but I didnt know there was such a thing as a "rack nut inserter" and i have stabbed myself may atimes putting in and taking out nuts =/


Anywho, I just started a similiar thread for password management, maybe well each find some useful information; we use the internal password storage on the touch panels, however we have so many touchpanels and are so limited in how many passwords we can have/keep track of, we are looking at an enterprise type solutions for managing the passwords remotely and authenticating users.
