API Login Failure

[jcole998]

Using the method.session API, it seems that I cannot login with a pin code other than 0000 when logging in on the local LAN. 

Can you tell me why the login fails? Does this API method use the same login data for local and internet access?

I figure it is how you calculate the md5 Can you sure the pin for that example?

Not sure what you're asking: "sure the pin"?

In that example, I decrypted the extra logging, and the pin is wrong.

[jcole998]

OK, sub. I thought if the code worked for 0000 it would work for any number. I'll recheck what I've coded.

Is the pin that's sent ignored by login if it is set to 0000 in Settings?

No - but there is some auto session login stuff that can happen on the local network, which wont happen on a remote request, which might be a factor.

I meant send the PIN and I would calculate what I think you should be sending.  Sub sort of confirmed that.

Thanks, sub.

Martin...I will construct a login command for an 8-digit PIN and post the command and the number.

Tomorrow...

OK...This is my code's output:

SID from session.initiate: 626510ae80b1455693e7d67e3638281b
PIN: 81476301
API: http://localhost:8867/service?method=ses...bb6f6760d7

SID from session.initiate: 28fa8c560ae34ce88e364eb694c75b2d
PIN: 0000
API: http://localhost:8867/service?method=ses...31bf807017

I did not try a login, only produced APIs.

If that was the PIN you had in yesterdays test you aren't calculating the md5 correctly. If it is a new PIN you forgot to provide the salt which is the most variable.
