Http Service and Zone/World Telnet Service Question

[Dimorge02]

I have a couple questions that I could not find on help.

For the HTTP server the FAQ states

First, you must be logging into the Web Tool on a GM account (using your normal Login Server account name), as normal accounts will not work.
Second, you must set a password in your account table password field for the account you want access on. You can hash the password so it is encrypted.

I am unclear on what account / account table etc that i need to be using. I am running the loginserver locally.


The other question is concerning the telnet setting for world/zone. Would this allow me to send commands to the world process via telnet session? I am developing a management site (via mono & mvc4) and I would like to send some commands to the server if possible.

I don't mind digging through the code to get some details I just want to make sure I understand the purpose and capabilities of the built in tools.


Thanks!!!

In the account table, I used

 
UPDATE `account` SET `password` = "rencro"
WHERE `name` = "gm";

That of course assumes you already have an account setup as gm and have already set its account status to 255...

i tried sha1 and hash but neither worked but its all on my private network for messing around so I didnt dig into why..

Yeah I think my telnet account is plaintext for the password.
