Replacing typed characters for "***" while typing a password
-
Hello Peter,
so far this feature is not available yet, but it will be soon. Just little recommendation. If you are about to use passwords in your HMI I strongly recommend to switch from HTTP to HTTPS protocol.
Just visit the https//: 127.0.0.1:8009 (mind the different port) and your communication between web browser and REGYGEN web server will be encrypted.Best regards,

Hi Ondrej,Is there any news on this new feature spoken about in the thread before (replacing characters for “*” when entering a “password”?
My intension is using that for the HMI page to enter for instance a configuration page that normally should not be meshed up by anyone.Thanks in advance,
Best regards,

Hi Peter,
the feature is now available in pre-release version 2.50.10-r5. Do you want to try it out or better wait for public release version?

Hi Ondrej,
That sounds promising and I like to try it out!
I am currently already on a pre-released Version V 2.50.10.11464.
Or is it also available in that release already?Regards,
Peter -
Yes this feature is already included in your pre-release version. Just use HMI Designer and use Input component. You have to change
format

Hi Ondrej,
I tried also to enable the HTTPS protocol, but don't succeed.
According to the information I should change the rexcore.cfg file.So based on the description "option=value" I would expect this should be working.
But this last line in the file is NOT doing the job. I have (after reboot) no connection to the HMI on port 8009.
Or is there anything else that needs to be enabled to achieve this?
Regards,

Hi Peter,
the HTTPS server is enabled by default on port 8009 - there is no need to change the rexcore.cfg unless you want to change the port.
The HMI should be accessible at
https://YOUR_RPI_IP:8009/
Be sure to write explicitly https and the ending /.
