Authentication for Access Point Configurations

Hi,

You can use http authentication from NWP web server, if username will be hard-coded inside firmware. But if you want configurable username/password, then only solution with current silicon revision is to use own http server in application processor. There is bug in NWP http server, which not worked with some usernames and password(s). From this reason is authentication in NWP http server useless. According information from TI, this bug can't be fixed by ServicePack.

Example how to enable http authentication in NWP http server:

  // now I am not sure if enable is not 1
  unsigned char xx = 0;
  char yyy[30];

  sl_NetAppStop(SL_NET_APP_HTTP_SERVER_ID);

  // auth enable
  sl_NetAppSet(SL_NET_APP_HTTP_SERVER_ID,
               NETAPP_SET_GET_HTTP_OPT_AUTH_CHECK,
               sizeof(xx),
               &xx);

  // http user
  sprintf(yy, "admin");
  sl_NetAppSet(SL_NET_APP_HTTP_SERVER_ID,
               NETAPP_SET_GET_HTTP_OPT_AUTH_NAME,
               strlen(yy),
               (unsigned char *)&yyy);

  // http password (e.g. "trevor1" password not working due to NWP bug)
  sprintf(yyy, "trevor1");
  sl_NetAppSet(SL_NET_APP_HTTP_SERVER_ID,
               NETAPP_SET_GET_HTTP_OPT_AUTH_PASSWORD,
               strlen(yyy),
               (unsigned char *)&yyy);

  // realm
  sprintf(yyy, "Enter password");
  sl_NetAppSet(SL_NET_APP_HTTP_SERVER_ID,
               NETAPP_SET_GET_HTTP_OPT_AUTH_REALM,
               strlen(yyy),
               (unsigned char *)&yyy);

  sl_NetAppStart(SL_NET_APP_HTTP_SERVER_ID);
