Controller Web Interface Configuration

Each JSON request must be accompanied by a request password that is preconfigured on the controller, as well as on the external web portal server.

This helps ensure that only authorized web portal servers can access the northbound interface.

The northbound interface request password can be configured in the controller web interface by navigating to Administration > External Services > WISPr Northbound Interface. See the figure below.

Note: The password in the figures is a token to ensure that the interface has the permission to get the services from the northbound interface. It must be included in all JSON request as RequestPassword sent to NBI.

A web portal server must use the POST command to issue JSON requests. The controller will not accept a request with the GET request command.
