Logging In Using a URL |
You can supply the login parameters in a URL into your web browser's address bar to request status information in either XML or Text format. This allows you to get the status from Iguana without having to go through an interactive log-in, which simplifies programmatic access to the status and control functionality.
The following table describes the parameters available for use:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| UserName | Specify your actual UserName; the default username is admin. |
| Password | Specify your actual Password; the default password is password. |
| Format | The Format parameter could be one of two values: text or xml. This parameter returns the Channel Status Summary page in either text or xml format. |
To log in from your web browser:
- Copy the following line, and paste it into your web browser's address bar:
http://localhost:6543/status.html?UserName=admin&Password=password&Format=format |
- Replace localhost with the hostname of the machine Iguana is listening on (localhost is the default hostname).
- Replace 6543 with the port that Iguana is listening on. 6543 is the default port.
- Replace UserName=username and Password=password with your actual user name and password.

| If UserName and Password are not provided, an error occurs unless you are already logged in. | ||

- Replace Format=format with either xml or text, depending on which format you want the status information in. If Format is not specified, the default format is text.
