Dynamic remote user management

[davidgillot]

Hello,
We use RUTX09 and TRB246.
We would like to manage remotely user via a central backend.
Idea:
User logs on our backend and request an access to gateway.
Backend (equipped with an administrative user) requests the gateway to create user providing username/password/profile. Upon confirmation the backend shows shares the credentials to user.
Access is allowed for a certain duration. At expiry, backend requests the gateway to discard user.

Is this flow achievable? (e.g. via JSON-RPC). Any other suggestion for achieving such a “centrally-managed access control”? (note: using teltonika RMS is not an option as we want to log all activities via our backend).

Similarly, is there a way to change the administrative user credentials remotely, so we can update them periodically.

Note: the gateways are configured for using openVPN.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

This should be possible by utlizing the built-in APIs of the gateways. Teltonika has a detailed documentation regarding this. When it comes to user configs, I saw that they have an endpoint that can be used to create, update, delete, etc. - https://developers.teltonika-networks.com/reference/rutx09/7.13.3/v1.5/users#users-general

So on your backend, you can managed the request to create a new user on the router/gateway when authenticated.
Flow:

1. User logs in on via Backend.
2. Once authenticated, new user will be created by sending a POST request on this endpoint
3. When the duration expires, send a delete request on the router API endpoint

Updating a user cred should be possible too via PUT API request - https://developers.teltonika-networks.com/reference/rutx09/7.13.3/v1.5/users#put-users-config
