Amahi Forums

Is it possible to set a password for the setup page (http://hda)?Now every user can change all the settings he wants, just type hda in his browser and he is free to do what ever he pleases.Is there a way to prevent this by setting a password????

it's a feature for the next release (i thought we already had a feature request for this, as it has been mentioned several times and agreed as a feature, however, we did not seem to, so i filed one).

in the mean time .. you can take it as do-it-yourself password protection.

Thanks for the quick reply, , everything works fine now

i thought i mention two things

• we try to be very very careful about this, however, if you modified the .conf file, it *could* conceivably not work well when we release the feature. you want to check on this often, as it's not supported as of now. furthermore i would disable automatic updates of everythig, including amahi, to prevent something like apache being updated upstream and this not work. *if* it were to break, it would more likely break by not working, rather than just being open.
• you can go to the bug and click on "watch" to get notified of when it's implemented and released.

sorry, i'm just paranoid. we're not building a security/bulletproof system. we want to build something that works and we'll work on selectively tightening parts of it in the future for specific usage cases.

Is there an easy way to undo this? For example of i save those two files leaving it blanc.Or can i manually change the config file using nano???.I am a little bit femillare with that ..
I don't need to protection right now, maybe in the future when my soon is old enough ......(excuse my for my poor english)

absolutely. just keep your original files and modified files and swap them as you wish!

Oke, but i allready made the change, so how can i undo this now, without reinstalling fedora completly.can you tell me which files i have to change and how they should look..
