Push notifications of connections and disconnections
Connecting and disconnecting of devices triggers push notifications for every channel.
It is not important how the connection was established or disconnected (e.g. via OSD
or XML).
Configuration and encryption
As of version 1.1, the XML API supports two ways of encryption:
Transport encryption:
If this type of encryption is enabled, the entire outgoing data
stream is encrypted by the XML service.
Incoming XML commands are only accepted and executed when encrypted with
the identical key and initialisation vector.
Password encryption:
This type of encryption encrypts only the passwords of user
accounts included in XML responses of G&D devices. For this, a subset of XML
encryption (see page 121) is used.
Within XML commands, passwords can either be encrypted (recommended) or
in plain text when sent to the device.
Both types of encoding use the
CBC-3DES
algorithm. The required key and the initial-
ization vector (only required with transport encryption) are configured in the web
application Config Panel.

ADVICE:
When evaluating push notifications, you can reproduce any switching pro-
cesses of the device, for example.
