5 Hide URL and Studio

Normally on the CUI and Streamer logon screens prompt users to enter the following user information:

  • URL: HTTP/HTTPS or host name of the SquidNet Master node

  • Studio Name: Name of the studio account. For non-commercial render farms, this is normally the “renderfarm” studio account

  • Username: User’s account name

  • Password: User’s account password

To limit the number of fields presented to the user, use the following environment variables to pre-assign the URL and Studio Name fields:

_images/cui_hide_url.png

Cloud User Interface (CUI):

SQUID_CUI_URL=<url>
SQUID_CUI_STUDIO_NAME=<studio_name>
_images/streamer_hide_url.png

Streamer:

SQUID_STREAMER_URL=<url>
SQUID_STREAMER_STUDIO_NAME=<studio_name>

Ideally, consult your operating system instructions on how to auto-set these variables between system restarts.
