FS1 Web Interface, Miscellaneous Screen: Authentication set to “Basic Password”
Notes:
1. AJA recommends using the Disabled setting, unless it is absolutely necessary to use the
Basic setting, since the authentication used is only as good as the underlying network
security. This is due to the password being sent across the network in clear text.
Security follows the Basic authentication defined in RFC2617, which can be read at this
URL: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt.
2. The default value is Disabled. Once changed to Basic, only entering the password or a
dual button factory reset will change this parameter back to Disabled, the single UP
button factory reset will not (see parameter 99.0 for information).
3. Changing Authentication to Disabled resets the System Password parameter to the
default password, which is “password”.
4. If you select Basic Password authentication, the default password will initially be used
(until you set a password with Set Password).
5. After you select Basic Password authentication, your browser immediately requires a
password before further interaction is allowed, as indicated by a browser dialog box.
The browser then prompts for a username/password for all access to the FS1. The FS1
ignores any supplied username and uses only the password during authentication. If
prompted for a password more than once, please re-enter the proper password each time
you are asked. Some browsers may store the password, which may require you to turn
off or clear password caching in the browser before you can use a new password.
Consult the browser help feature for instructions.
