Sometimes you have content behind a website that requires log-in, such as your project schedule in Atlassian's JIRA, Trello, dashboard behind Tableau, Salesforces, etc.
It can either be a Browser Popup or a Gated Website (like below)
The solution is simple, you just need to:
- Copy the link to the page, and dashboard you need to display.
- Put it in the Website app in OptiSigns
- Then put the asset on your screen or in the playlist as an asset
- When it shows up on your device, just use your mouse & keyboard to enter in username and password (remember to save credentials, for Fire TV, you may need a Bluetooth mouse & keyboard to pair and type this information in).
- If you don't have a Bluetooth mouse & keyboard, you can use a USB HUB adaptor to connect with your mouse & keyboard.
That's it, the credential will be saved, and every time OptiSigns plays the link, it will show the secured information inside the website.
Enter the Website URL:
Note: Browser Popup kind of password is not supported for Android, FireStick player. Only Windows, Linux, MacOS, Raspberry Pi, and ChromeOS are supported. The app will pop up a window for you to enter password:
You can also prefill a password in your URL for the Browser Popup case such as: https://guest:guest@jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Basic/
