New feature request: Generate barcode

Hello,

In my currect job i need to use Sophos recovery process almost daily.

My request is that in sophos console recovery and Sophos PoA you could get code as a barcode that can be scanned.

Currently i just copy paste recovery code here http://www.barcode-generator.org/ (Using Core 128) when scan code using barcode scanner so i do not have to type long code manually to client pc.

If you could generate barcore directly in sophos that would be great!

Thanks!

This is not a bad idea... Doesn't the POA recovery already use checksum security for the algorithm for the code? I think it would be even more beneficial to have RFID gateways that you can use instead of barcodes... barcodes can be hacked and in some cases easily manipulated.
I agree with Pashyn in the idea of finding something to simplify the code process as I have actually ran out of time before finishing the code with a enduser and its annoying.
But do not forget that you can post this Idea to the dev team here: http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/feature-requests.aspx
Be heard man!

Hi PASHYN,
I'm new with SOPHOS so I'm not able to give an exact answer matching ur question. I've checked the url you shared, the free online code 128 generator I'm using works little bit better than that. The width, height, orientation and other setting options for the barcode image is available. Take a look if you are interested.
Best,
Makaveil

Install Java Barcode Generator Servlet application to Tomcat or JBoss, developers need copy the barcode folder to your Tomcat application folder, and restart the Tomcat.

I just found the java barcode genertion guide on the page you mentioned, it provides me a sample code, but I still don't understand the steps you said, so could you please give more details?
