| Post subject: | Securing Mythweb (LinHES) |
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. |
