Getting a web browser to auto logon to the local web VGX remote console?

Has anyone figured out a way to automatically logon to the local Remote Console? Maybe a URI that works when appended to the URL? None of my browsers will fill in the stored password. Possibly due to the certificate. I havent tried getting rid of the password yet to see if it will then auto logon. -Bill

@bigbillsd This is indeed currently not possible. It has to do with the underlying mechanism to show the remote console, which means we can not use the native browser supported password store mechanism.

Bummer. Hopefully they will figure out a workaround.

Hi @bigbillsd

Try using a browser tab setup with just "venus.local" in the address bar. This needs the GX to be connected to VRM, and won't work if that link is down. A few seconds lag only, even if on the other side of the world.

Mine doesn't ask for a password, but that may be a setting in the GX anyway.

If that's blued on this post of mine, just click on it..

That sort of gets me to the logon, but then it doesn't let me logon at all. There really should be a way to get it to autologon with a password.

Hmm, you must've deleted an answer, my comment disappeared.. I'll try again..

Try going Settings > Remote Console. Disable password check, and Enable on both VRM and LAN.

Understood, but I am still trying to find a way to have my (any) browser to autologon using a password for the remote console (local access) I have read the manual, and its not in there. So maybe its not possible. But I would like someone from Victron to respond whether its possible or not. -Bill
