I figured it out. Just in case anyone else is interested:
Thanks for sharing.
FWIW, no authentication in the URL is required if BI user “anonymous” is enabled. But If user “anonymous” is NOT enabled and you have created a user and password in BI to be used when issuing the above HTTP command, then you must also place that user/password at the end of the URL that is sent to BI.
That would add “?user=username&pw=password” to the end, so the example URL now would be
Code:
http://BI-server-IP:81/admin?camera=x&alerts=y?user=username&pw=password
.
Additionally, you must also go to “Web server” => “Advanced’ and UNcheck “use secure session keys and login page”.
