      Hi,

      I"m wondering if there is an example how you can replace characters when typing. Like you do for many websites when entering a password.
      So I want to use a typed string from the HMI in the "task" block, but want to replace the typed characters with "***" characters.

      Looking forward for feedback on this.

      Best regards,
      Peter

        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,
        Ondrej

            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,
            Peter

              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?

              Regards, Ondrej

                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 to password.

                      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.

                      rexcore_file_setting.PNG

                      So based on the description "option=value" I would expect this should be working.
                      HTTPS_connection_setting.PNG

                      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,
                      Peter

                        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 /.

                        Regards,
                        Tomas
