Authorized users can log into the SNIP<\/strong><\/span> Web API with a simple Login page.\u00a0 The Web API provides an alternative way to manage and administer your SNIP<\/strong><\/span> NTRIP Caster using any common browser.\u00a0 In order to use the Web API<\/a>, the Plug-In module<\/a> must be present and active.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How<\/h2>\n

In order to log into the Web API you must use either the Admin<\/strong> account and password, or a Customer Account<\/strong>, realm name, and password.\u00a0 These are created and managed by the Caster Operator.<\/p>\n

The login process is similar to any other web site.\u00a0 The user enters a name (in this case the Customer or Staffs primary eMail account<\/strong> – and this is NOT case sensitive) and the assigned Password<\/strong>. The Customer must also enter the Realm<\/strong>, which is the nickname you have assigned to that customer. [See below for a shortcut.]\u00a0 If the credentials are accepted, a session is established and the user is taken to the Web API top page<\/a>.\u00a0 This page is the launching point for all other operations the user account can perform.\u00a0 It is described further here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where<\/h2>\n

The login page can be reached at the URL of your caster with “\/SNIP::Login<\/strong>” appended.\u00a0 For example, if your Caster is located myNtrip.example.com on port 2101, you would enter: myNtrip.example.com:2101\/SNIP::Login\u00a0 If your Caster does not have a registered domain name, you would enter the IP address in its place, just as you do for NTRIP Client connections.<\/p>\n

Modes<\/h2>\n

A unique aspect of the SNIP<\/strong><\/span> Web API is that each email account has two<\/strong> different passwords.<\/p>\n
