Well, got ZM up and running (and learned a good bit about Linux in the process.)

Can't seem to find any mention of just sharing an image; I've got a few non-tech savvy folks (OK, my mom... ) who I'd love to just give a link to and not have to worry about passwords and usernames.

Ideally, she'd just see a stream. No controls. No options.

I've got mine set up with hashed logins, and I can log in remotely no prob.

I figured the AUTH_HASH_LOGINS parameter would get me there, but I'm not sure what to search on to generate a hash -- or if that method would even work.

Thoughts?

There's the user access option, check the OPT_USE_AUTH on config, then create a user and set only minimal access... with password...

Simple to do actually, omitting your cgi path since I don't know it: So it might look something like:
Of course you should set a guest account with very limited permissions in zm since the password will be sent in the clear via the url. Viewing the stream only is preferable.
Set the monitor number you want to watch according to the monitorID in the console.

This is also the same path you would take to stream one ZM installation to another.

I just set up a guest account with no priveleges and access to only the monitor I want seen. Worked like a champ, thanks!

Is it possible to login with hashed (MD5) user and pass as:

http://10.0.20.98/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode= ... ED_MD_CODE[/b]&pass=HASHED_MD5_CODE

another lesser known option is to us apaches proxy. Which completely masks the user and pass.
Sry no read made example check google.

it is but you would need to login first to create the hash.
