GalaxyGuy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Publishing for the iPhone is quite a bit different than publishing for Android devices. Android allow content from the relevant content stores, but phones also allow unpublished applications to be installed. iPhone apps need to go through the Apple approval process and they need to be built with Xcode on MAC OS (on an apple computer) with an approved developer account. Only hacked (jailbroken) iPhones can install unpublished apps. All depends on the level of polish you require. My issue is lack of time and I'd rather polish my car, than an app GUI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSE Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I've been giving this some more thought over the last few days So I decided to give our web designer a call and see what can be done Apparently, its an absolute doddle to add this to our engineers portal, only half a days work. So, I have instructed him to crack on with it as soon as possible and lets see how it performs. Basics on how it will work are; It will require a seed code can only be changed at the office by myself, Lets say its set to 0123 Engineer logs into our online portal Once logged in, They will need a valid contract number By entering a valid account number of 5555, and a system number of 001, This will generate a batch of codes for the site So, all the codes will revolve around the seed code, customer account number and the system number The unique codes generated will be G2 & G3 Intruder, Both 4 & 6 Digit along with random codes other scopes we provide This is a typical output it will provide; G2 IAS - 2598 G3 IAS - 157956 Access - 8768 CCTV - 6587 Every action from the point of the login screen is logged by the server, Any code outputs for high value sites will be denied depending on engineer rights Once its finished, I will upload a small video of it for your opinions, But I think it will more than do the job I need Edited July 14, 2015 by PSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSE Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Also forgot to add, That it will check the account number to see if its currently in an active maintenance agreement If its valid, it will issue the codes out, If its our of warranty or out of contract then it can only be generated by the office or my master user rights This is something I wanted adding in, to make sure that there are no naughty foreigners or backhanders being done without me knowing about it.

timmo66 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Brilliant. So when an engineer returns to site for a service visit, he inputs the seed code and the account number and it spits out the engineer code? How does the engineer know the seed code?

PSE Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 That part is not set in stone how this will be handled, but there are a few ways we could do this Although it is going ahead now, Its still going to be tweaked over the coming weeks. This is why I want to post a small video of it up on here, so I can get feedback some on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyGuy Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 So, this is a set of random numbers that's generated depending on the engineers privileges against any account. The seed code and account identifier act as a unique identifier to select that sites stored codes ? I'm still struggling to understand the value of the seed code over a regular engineer website password to restrict access to a set of site codes.

norman Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 There isn't imo, if they can log onto the portal they can access the seed code. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSE Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Call it a seed code, security code, Its just an extra level of security, An engineers username and password is ok, But why not have more security Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
