Can we have access in LabVIEW to a PXI password?

[plessnick]

Hello,

I have an application running in LabVIEW real-time on PXI.  The customer is able to monitor the application through a remote-panel.

He recently ask us to add a login to the remote panel.  I will implement the password using the method described in this link.

I will like to use the password set in MAX when the device was locked.  Is there a way to access this password?

Regards,

Patrick

You cannot pull password out of MAX because they are encrypted.  The only way would be create a local password and compare it. But once it goes to MAX you can't get it back out.

Can we only have a login.vi or DLL?

The only way I've find out now is to use the FTP login.vi and verify if the session is open.

Thanks,

Patrick

I'm not sure I understand your question.  Can you please elaborate

[plessnick]

Rather than accessing directly the password, is there any vi or dll that I can call to will validate the password?

I've found that I can validate the password entered by the user using the FTP login vi as a workaround as the access won't be granted if the password isn't valid.  The FTP login.vi must be calling some piece of code to validate the password.  Is this code available?

That code is not available.

The best advice I can give you is to use that example and compare the password to a known list of passwords.
