Using PChelpware_SC_GUI having a user password

Post by dvernon2 »

I am relatively new to PChelpware but have spent some time customizing over the last few days.

I have multiple Admins who need to service customers. I have everything working except.........

I would like the customer to have to enter a password to connect.

I tried in the helpdesk.txt file...

NOC 2
-connect 172.24.1.8:5500 -passwd ask

But when the -passwd ask is there it won't prompt for password nor connect. Remove it and everything works.


How can I use the Custom Gui that allows the customer to select from a list of Admins but still require them to use a password.

Thanks in advance.

well the ask it the correct way. when creating the server you only need to tell it to ask for password. If that does not work has to be a bug

I am sure i have no idea what I am doing.....but i believe I have followed the limited instructions.

When using the SC_GUI i click on Create.bat to create the server....I don't use the Viewer to create the server. So i don't get an option to tell it to use password. There is a different helpdesk.txt.

Are you saying that I should somehow use the Viewer to create the server even though I am trying to use the SC Gui????

Thanks again.

Options differ for the SC Gui and the server created from the viewer...

SC_GUI was made to reuse the SC config, SC didn't have the password stuff.
I need to dig in the code, but i guess that this option doesn't exist ion SC

Thanks Rudi,

[topic=9035][/topic]

He and you I believe created a new GUI as well.....in his post he says.

Features:
- List with old style config (helpdesk.txt includes HOST entries)
- space for your own logo
- Info Button (disappears without the WEBPAGE entry in helpdesk.txt)
- new style background
- allows the same parameter settings for PHW as the new gui (e.g. password, proxy)
- window title is setable (viewable at the task bar)




- allows the same parameter settings for PHW as the new gui (e.g. password, proxy)

Password......thats what I need.

Thanks.
