Back-UPS users want a quick and convenient access method to the PowerChute Web UI without the requirement of a username and password.

Issue:
Back-UPS users want a quick and convenient way to access the PowerChute Web UI without requiring a username and password.

Product Line & Device Model:
PowerChute Serial Shutdown
Supported Back-UPS models

Environment:
All supported OS connected to a Back-UPS
Cause:
Informational

Solution:
PowerChute Serial Shutdown v1.2 and above supports Back-UPS users who can instantly access the Web UI via the quick access icon without a username and password combination. This feature benefits users who do not require authenticated or remote access to the Web UI. To enable the quick access feature, during the installation of the software, do not select "Create a user account". This will allow only a local user to access the PowerChute web interface, and no credentials will be required.

NOTE: This feature is only available when connected to a Back-UPS.

Once the installation has completed, there will be a PowerChute icon on the desktop and an icon in the Systray.

NOTE: It is recommended that a PowerChute user account be created when the system is on a company or public network.

Existing PowerChute v1.0 users can also remove the username and password requirement by updating to the latest version.
