Axparameter password input field to hide typed value

[jorgeabr]

Hi,
We're using axparameter in an ACAP application and we wonder if it's possible that the password field is hidden from the user while typing, as the usual password field. We're using latests 12.0 SDK.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jorge

Hi @jorgeabr ,
I tried using the AXIS Q1715 Block Camera (AXIS OS version 12.1.64) and the latest AxParameter example with the following manifest.json. It is not working as expected. I never used it previously but from documentation, it looks like possible 😄

{
    "schemaVersion": "1.7.2",
    "acapPackageConf": {
        "setup": {
            "friendlyName": "axparameter",
            "appName": "axparameter",
            "vendor": "Axis Communications",
            "embeddedSdkVersion": "3.0",
            "vendorUrl": "https://www.axis.com",
            "runMode": "never",
            "version": "1.0.0"
        },
        "configuration": {
            "paramConfig": [
                {
                    "name": "IsCustomized",
                    "default": "no",
                    "type": "bool:no,yes"
                },
                {
                    "name": "BackupValue",
                    "default": "restored from backup",
                    "type": "hidden:string"
                },
                {
                    "name": "UserPassword",
                    "default": "VivekAxis",
                    "type": "password:maxlen=64"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Following the instructions from here:
Reference: Parameter Types

First step with default values:

Checked the saved value of the User Password.

Hi, @vivekatoffice
Thanks for your quick and precise answer.
What I want to achieve is that the password is not being shown while typing e.g. here Vivek must be replaced by *

Thanks again

Hi @jorgeabr ,
I also tested with the previous Axis OS, and it was working fine. The only thing is that you need to clear the complete password and enter the new password. But I am not really sure how we need to use this, like after stopping the application or while it is running, so callbacks can work.

{
    "schemaVersion": "1.3",
    "acapPackageConf": {
        "setup": {
            "friendlyName": "axparameter",
            "appName": "axparameter",
            "vendor": "Axis Communications",
            "embeddedSdkVersion": "2.16",
            "vendorUrl": "https://www.axis.com",
            "runMode": "never",
            "version": "1.0.0",
            "user": {
                "username": "sdk",
                "group": "sdk"
            }
        },
        "configuration": {
            "paramConfig": [
                {
                    "name": "UserPassword",
                    "type": "password:maxlen=64",
                    "default": "VivekAxis"

                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

So another option is to use the 10.XX LTS version and try 😉 and report this to acap-native-sdk-examples/issues or Axis Onlne Helpdesk

Good to know it was working on previous Axis OS. I've placed a Case in Axis Helpdesk. I'll let you know.
Thank you very much for your help
