I am running BH on my Solo2 and some time ago downloaded and set up the android app for remote access. If I remember correctly, I set up login and password details which were stored in the app. However, for some time I have been using webif from rooms around the house. To my horror I tried to use webif remotely via the ddns link I had set up for the android app and found that the link took me straight into my Solo2! How can I set security on the webif?

Setup a password on the receiver in telnet by typing passwd then pressing enter. Follow on screen instructions.. The openwebif login details will be the same as FTP..

masterg - there is already a password on the receiver which is used by VCC for access. So surely passwd will only change it? More curious, when I type passwd in telnet it asks me to enter new password, but does not accept any key strokes at all!! The dialogue is:
Blackhole 2.1.0 vusolo2
vusolo2 login: root
root@vusolo2:~# xxxxxxxx
-sh: xxxxxxxx: not found
root@vusolo2:~# cd /
root@vusolo2:~# passwd
Changing password for root
New password:where xxxxxxxx is the password used by VCC

From plugins menu, start openwebif Configuration > Enable the various authentication settings by changing the default no to yes.. Also change the http port to something less obvious, this port will also need opened in the router..

Thanks guys, adjusting the Openwebif configuration sorted it.
