Disable ViewON JS authentication

I will be accessing viewON pages over m2web only. So, there is authentication already. But when I open viewon page having tag, it asks me uID and pass via javascript alert mechanism.

How to disable this authentication? I want to develop kiosk based interface. Thats why it's necessory to eliminate each user interaction.

Hi,

I guess you tried to uncheck the option "Enable user pages security" ?
Indeed, this option only works properly with home made web pages and works partially with viewON (the URL used to read data from the Ewon is not unprotected).

This is one of the top priorities of our wishlist and I hope to get included in a future firmware soon.

Yes, I tried unchecking option "Enable user pages security". That only allowed me to browse ViewON pages which does not have any viewON tag included. As soon as I enter into the page containing any tag, authentication dialog pops up.

Including default user 'anonymous' having settable rights will solve this issue (not issue, feature per-say).
Rather invoke the authentication dialog only when 'anonymous' tries to access/do any action which is not allowed explicitely.

Also, plz include web based form for viewON authentication rather old boring JS dialog.

Is there any forum thread for feature request and tracking related to ewon products (hardware,software) ??

Dear Ewon Team,

The using of viewon page with tags without this double authentication is really necessary, as part of our industrial project. I'm waiting for the possibility to desactivate the authentication since January. 
Unfortunately, this issue becomes problematic for our end users. I check every day for this famous firmware update...
Please, go ahead on this, asap
Thanks for your work.

Commenting to keep this thread open until the feature availability.

This thread has been marked as solved. If you have a similar issue, it would be better to post your own thread rather than bump this one, to help keep everybody's different issues separate.

This would be very helpful!

The feature should come soon ;-)

Any time line on that Simon?

Normally for March.

By the way, I was reviewing your first comment and wanted to be sure it is well what you want and not cause a frustration : The feature will allow user to provide an anonymous AND read-only access to some of Ewon data (and viewON is included of course).
I insist on "read-only" ! So, in other words, you'll be able to see tag values, histo data, alarm data without authentication BUT you'll still have to authenticate to write data to Tags.

Hi Simon,

can you provide an example of the url needed to access the viewon page - I have tried looking through my notes and cannot remember how to format the link correctly!

Thanks Marcus

I still have to try with 14.4PR but with old firmwares it was:
