Profile Change via URL w/ Authentication

[maxxxxpower3]

Hi all,

Not new to BI but new to the forums. I have the most up to date version.

I am trying to change the profile via URL and found the documentation to include the /admin?profile=x. This seems to work when I am logged in to the WebGUI.

When I am not logged in, however, I get an error that "Authentication Required". I have turned Authentication to NONE in the Web Server settings, and given the Anonymous user the Admin flag (this server is in no way WAN facing, on a dedicated VLAN with only me having access to it).

I found some documentation about adding the user/pass to the URL, but I am not having any luck combining the two into 1 URL that works. Something like:

http://192.168.0.50:10001/?user=user&pw=password?admin?profile=x returns a page not found.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

You don't seem to understand URL structure.

Question mark (?) separates the page name from the arguments and should only appear once. Arguments come after the page name and after the question mark. Ampersand (&) separates arguments.

This would be more correct:

http://192.168.0.50:10001/admin?user=user&pw=password&profile=x
