How to disable the login requirement for Overture MagicMenu?

Article number: [2829] - Legacy code: [7574]

In some use cases such as kiosks and in-room access to a control panel, one could need to disable the login requirement of the magic menu.

Disabling the login requirement is not possible, although a user account with a permanent token will offer you the same (and still secured) functionality.

Create a user account with permanent token

  1. Login to Overture and open the configurator
  2. Select Views > Users
  3. Click New
  4. Fill in the required fields
  5. Activate the Permanent token checkbox
  6. Click Save
  7. Click the Get Permanent token button and copy the generated token

MagicMenu URL

Now, to gain access to a Magic menu page, add the ?token=[TOKEN] parameter to your MagicMenu URL. This should result in a URL of this form:
http://[SERVER HOSTNAME OR IP]/magicmenu?point=[ROOM NAME]&home=common+room&token=[TOKEN].

For example, the URL http://192.168.0.10/magicmenu?point=Board Room&home=common+room&token=eyJehbGciOIjoiUGVybWFhv9tfs3_@uZW50IFRva2VuIiwicm9sZXMiOltdfQ.m4S9gnADa03gPVAw0wpKH__f31pFXU1Gg_w, will give you direct access to:

  • The room panel
  • Of meeting room 'Board Room'
  • at Overture server '192.168.0.10'
  • With the user rights of the user assigned to token '[email protected]'

BYOD

To enable BYOD, use a QR generator to create a QR code of the given URL (e.g.http://192.168.0.10/magicmenu?point=Board Room&home=common+room&token=eyJehbGciOIjoiUGVybWFhv9tfs3_@uZW50IFRva2VuIiwicm9sZXMiOltdfQ.m4S9gnADa03gPVAw0wpKH__f31pFXU1Gg_w). By scanning this QR code, users will have access to the room panel of the Board Room of 192.168.0.10.
