Command line/Curl command /admin?db=rebuild help

[cklaus]

I have 3 installations of BI at my facility, 2 are dedicated to camera motion detection and recording, and 1 is strictly for remote access of about 12 users.

What I am trying to do is give access to clips to the users without giving them access to the 2 machines that are doing the actual recording. What I have done is set-up an hourly copy of clips from the NEW directory on each of the recording machines to the NEW directory of the remote access machine.

I can do a manual Repair/Regenerate within BI and it updates the clips properly. What I cannot get to work is doing the rebuild outside of BI. Below is my curl command and the results given. I hope someone can give me an idea to get this working.

Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't you have to authenticate with the BI on machine #3 before it would accept an admin command?
It seems that it throws an exit at a "login" :

< Connection: close
< Location: /login.htm?page=%2Fadmin%3Fdb=rebuild

Manual:

Authentication
You may add &user=username&pw=password to any HTTP request, but only if use secure
session keys and login page is disabled on the Advanced page in Settings/Web server. It’s
also possible to exempt or elevate connections from specific IP addresses.

This is command is being run on the same machine as the BI installation I am trying to update. I was assuming the /admin is using the local_console admin account. The local_console account currently has no password.

Thanks for the tips, you have given me more things to look at in the web server/advanced pages.
