BCS Utilities Connection

Post by BentTwigBrew »

I cannot seem to get the BCS utilities to find my "BCS 4.0 Device". When I type in the local address the check mark turns red. I am not having an issue accessing it at that address from another browser tab. Have tried this on Firefox and Chrome.

This is the address I am using:
http://192.168.2.10:8081

What am I missing here?

Answered my own question...Right from the user guide too!

"The Backup/Restore utility only works when Authentication is disabled on the BCS."

Carry on and thanks for all the handwork that went into 4.0!

Actually, with the released version of 4.0 you can leave authentication on and pass the credentials in the URL like this:

http://admin:password@192.168.2.10:8081

Yup, that will work. Currently working on a nicer way to input the username/password, but the technical hurdle was resolved in 4.0.
