Basic Auth system (for read-only / read-write access) #4
Comments
Alternatively if anyone can provide a how-to/guide on setting up auth with reverse proxy - that would be highly appreciated. |
Oops -- sorry for the late reply! I was made aware of this issue just now. Password-protected reverse proxy setup instructions with nginx are here: http://kbeezie.com/view/protecting-folders-with-nginx/ I'll get a sample nginx configuration file checked in to the repository -- please ping me if you don't see a check-in to that effect by the next weekend. :-) |
Trying it out - would love to see the sample config file :) |
Hi! I've just checked in a sample config for nginx. The steps I've used to set it up is: cd ethercalc
git pull
brew install nginx # or "apt-get install nginx", etc
nginx -p `pwd`/nginx/ -c conf/nginx.conf
node app.js --key secret # change "secret" to something site-specific Connect to http://localhost:9000/ as usual; editors can use username "foo" and password "bar" to login and edit pages in authenticated URLs such as http://localhost:9000/xyz/edit ; readers may use normal read-only URLs such as http://localhost:9000/xyz (without the To adjust the authentication passwords beyond the default foo/bar, use the # Adding password for user newuser
htpasswd -b nginx/conf/.htpasswd newuser newpass

Hi! Please ensure you have nginx 1.1.4 or later (preferably nginx 1.2.0), as verified by After that, please try nginx -p `pwd`/nginx/ -s stop
nginx -p `pwd`/nginx/ -c conf/nginx.conf
node app.js --key secret Please let me know if it helps! |
Can this be put into the documentation? There should it go, instead of referring from the documentation to an issue ... |
Thanks for the auth-work so far. We would need a stand-alone solution. As you mentioned in issue #1 if a basic auth system is required I should open a new issue - here it is ;-)
