WDServer Password Protection

Enables password protection for WinDarab. This requires WinDarab users to enter a password before being able to connect to a Bosch data stream.

  • WinDarab v7.9.26 is the first client supporting the new WDServer V3.2 with enabled access protection and data encyption.
  • After access protection is enabled in WDServer V3.2, WinDarab v7.9.026 or later is capable to detect, connect to WDServer V3.2 and show its telemetry streams:
  • If a protected WDServer V3.2 is detected, WinDarab shows the WDServer in the “new files” section at the bottom of the “File Explorer” view. When double-clicking the entry, the user can enter the correct password to allow WinDarab to receive the WDServer configuration.
  • After unlocking the WDServer connection, all streams of the WDServer are shown in the “New files” section. Again, a double-click on an entry opens (if required) the password dialog to connect with the specific telemetry stream. See next slide for details.
  1. Enable password protection 1st in global settings then individual streams can be protected!
    Alias name for stream source can be used instead of computer name.
  3. Set the password for the individual stream.
  5. Opening password protected stream in WinDarab
  • The password hint/password can be stored in the password safe of WinDarab. If a matching password is found in the password safe, the WDServer and/or telemetry stream is immediately unlocked/established.
  • If a WDServer is unlocked and the same password hint/password is used to protect a telemetry stream, the password is not required to be entered again.
  • As long as WinDarab is opened, a stream which was connected before won’t ask for the password again when reconnecting.
