Tips for Adding a Web Browser Interface

To configure the Web Browser Interface, you must gather some information from the HTML source to help identify the actual field names of the Username and Password fields. All vendors implement these authentication fields differently, and the names of these fields vary from device to device, as well as among firmware versions for a particular device. For this reason, there isn't a single method for finding the field names. See the procedure below for one possible method.

You may want the help of a software engineer or system administrator to locate and identify the proper field names.

  1. In the HTML source code for the login page of the web application, search for the field's label, such as Username and Password.
  2. When you find the field label, look in the adjacent code for a tag that looks like this: name="user"

    The word in quotes is the field name.
