Secure the device→backend input push, and configure it automatically when the
admin assigns the device (no manual URL/secret entry).
Auth — HTTP Digest (chosen by hardware testing: the device can't push to a
self-signed HTTPS backend, but does Digest correctly; a URL token is sniffable/
logged):
- digest-auth.ts: MD5 qop=auth challenge/verify, single-use nonces (replay
resistance). Password never crosses the wire.
- push route: Digest + source-IP allowlist; per-device pushUser/pushPassword from
lane_devices. Still not behind the SPA cookie/CSRF auth (machine call). The
signed event log remains the real anti-fraud guarantee.
Auto-config on assign:
- setup assign: for push-capable devices, generate Digest creds, call
configureInputPush to write them + the push URLs to the device, store the creds
(password not echoed back). net.ts derives the backend IP on the device's
subnet (BACKEND_HOST_IP override).
- driver configureInputPush sets auth=2 + creds; PushConfig carries the creds.
- removed the earlier URL-token approach.
Two hard-won device-write bugs fixed in the driver:
- configApi now sets an explicit Content-Length — the device silently ignores
chunked request bodies (Node's default without Content-Length), so every config
write looked successful ({"status":0}) but did nothing. This was the root cause
of the session's "writes don't apply" mystery.
- #writeConfig polls until the change is verified, retrying (the device reboots on
apply; back-to-back writes were lost). The `pass` field caps at 31 chars, so the
generated password is 24 hex chars.
Verified on hardware: assign auto-configures the device; all 4 inputs then push
with Digest auth, zero failures. wiki/device-input-flow updated.
