To start a Eocortex Web Client, type in the address bar of the browser the following:

http://<IP_address_or_URL_of_server>:<port>

or for the secured connection

https://<IP_address_or_URL_of_server>:<SSL_port>

Examples:

http://192.168.1.100:8080

http://server.company.com:9090

Note

If the Remember me option is selected when logging in and cookies are enabled, the next time the application is launched, automatic login to Eocortex Web Client will occur.

To switch users and cancel automatic login, click the Exit button in the application control panel.

Note

It is possible to connect to Eocortex servers running with Enterprise and ULTRA licenses under Active Directory account, if the administrator of the video surveillance system has configured such functionality for the user.

For Active Directory accounts, the user name is specified as: username@domain; where domain is the domain name, username is the name of the user in the domain.

Automatic authorization🔗

Warning

This authorization method is insecure because the user's password is transmitted in the clear. It is not recommended to use it on open or public networks.

To perform automatic authorization, you must enter a URL in the following format:

{scheme}//{host}:{port}/web?user={user_name}&password={user_password}.

Query parameters:

  • user - user login

  • password - user password.

    If your password contains special characters such as ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ), you should encode them according to RFC 1630 before sending them. To do this, perform the following steps:

    • Open the Developer Tools by pressing the F12 key.

    • Click the Console tab.

    • Enter the encodeURIComponent function in the console with your password as a parameter, for example: encodeURIComponent('password').

    • Copy the resulting value without quotation marks.

    • Use this encoded value as your password.

    For example, for the password qwerty!@##^&qwerty, the encoded string would look like this: qwerty!%40%23%23%23%5E%26qwerty.

Note

This authorization method supports authorization of users through Active Directory.

Examples:

http://localhost:8080/web?user=root&password=

http://localhost:8080/web?user=user1&password=123

http://localhost:8080/web?user=user2@company3.com&password=P@55w0rd

Warning

If incorrect data is entered, such as an invalid username or password, or a password containing special characters, the login page will appear.

Example of a request with a password containing special characters:

http://localhost:8080/web?user=user3&password=!@#$%^&*()

Example of a request with an encoded password:

http://localhost:8080/web?user=user3&password=!%40%23%24%25%5E%26*()
