There is an excellent article for enabling passwords for mythweb and enabling SSL, however this is from 2007 (R5F1). As I understand it, LinHES does not use Apache (uses lighttpd?).

That being said, has anyone had success performing a similar task on LinHES? Detailing your experience and learning resources would be appreciated.

Questions:
========
1) If lighttpd is not used, what is?
2) Is this lighttpd SSL configuration tutorial appropriate in this context?
3) What is the lightttpd equivalent procedure for:

Step 1: Enable Password Control for Everything

in the original R5F1 article/? I think that this file may be the target;

/etc/lighttpd/auth-inc.conf

I am hoping that I missed an FAQ or thread that addresses this topic.

1) lighttpd
2) yes
3) if you edit /etc/lighttpd/auth-inc.conf and change /mythweb to / then the entire site will be protected. Be warned that file will be overwritten from time to time (unless you disable it in /etc/mythvantage.cfg). Also might be able to put those directives in your own conf file, but not for sure if it will conflict or not.

Thanks for the response, however, it does not address how to add and manage users. (Maybe I missed something?) I Googled this a little more and found this article

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/lighttpd-secure-digest-authentication-mod_auth.html

It suggest using the syntax:

Code:
htdigest -c /path/to/password/file 'Realm' username


However, I htdigest is not available. It seems that LH has more (advanced) alternatives to standard *NIX resources: is there a LH equivalent \ substitute?

htdigest is part of apache. You can either
1) install apache (it's in the repo)
2) use an online generator like http://www.askapache.com/online-tools/h ... generator/

3) skip the htdigest and use plain text. Frankly i would recommend this route for testing.
