Need better way to identify clients in server

Post#1 by Dimitri » 04 Feb 2022, 19:02

Any chance of making it easier to find and organize clients? Creating a nested table for every single client is time consuming. If you forget to create the nested table it's not always easy to find a specific client.

1- An editable column in the client list would be great. Just an empty editable box where i can add a name or a location without having to create a nested table.
2- Show public IP address. - Almost all my clients show a 192 address or the 10.x.x.x address of the modem.
3 - Multiple clients using same hostname and client ID. If we forget to create a nested table the next client we configure takes on
4- Date added to server would be very helpful.

Dimitri,

1) Nested configurations are the way to go.

2) There is no demand for this function.
In a customized kiosk build we could show a public IP instead of local one (client reinstallation necessary).

3) Duplicated IDs should be resolved in latest kiosk version.
If you cant have it for some reason then nested configurations + static client ID is the only resolution to this problem.

4) Not sure what you mean by this. Please evaluate.

Thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
