iChip Embedded Web Server
AT+i Programmer‘s Manual Version 8.32 27-8
The Parameter Tags defined in the application website are secured from remote updates
in the same manner as the iChip configuration parameters. In this case, the authentication
password is stored in iChip‘s local parameter WPWD (Web Password). If the WPWD
parameter contains a value, a remote user needs to issue this value as an authentication
password in order to gain update access to the application level Parameter Tags. Like in
the case of the RPG parameter, if WPWD is empty, application level Parameter Tags are
fully restricted, whereas when WPWD contains an (*), updates are unrestricted and
authentication is not required.
When authentication is required, iChip‘s web server automatically issues an
authentication form to the remote browser in response to an attempt to update Parameter
Tags. This procedure allows the application site to include HTML submit instances
anywhere in the website without worrying about the authentication process.
Authentication is automatically activated depending on the local value of the WPWD
parameter.
Authentication needs to be submitted only once per session in order to enable browsing,
Parameter Tags, or iChip configuration updates. In addition, authentication automatically
expires after 10 minutes of inactivity.
27.11 Parameter Update Error Handling
An attempt to assign an illegal value to a parameter will fail and a string containing the
relevant error message will be stored in a special iChip Parameter Tag named WST (Web
Server Status). This value can be displayed in the page as any other parameter value
(using ~WST~). For Example:
<b>Update Error Message: ~WST~</b>
