Topic: pwauth on an ibay

[markehle]

Folks -

I'm sorry if this is in the forum somewhere - I looked but could not find it.

I am in need of being able to password protect an ibay using system user names and passwords. I want it not to prompt for a user on the local networks, but to challenge people accessing the ibay from the internet.

While I am thinking about it, I think that this would be a nice option from the ibays menu on the server-manager page. 

Thanks!

I am in need of being able to password protect an ibay..... I want it .... to challenge people accessing the ibay from the internet.

There is already the option in server manager to password protect the ibay for web access, but that uses a single ibay/password login combination specific to the ibay.

If you want to auth against user names, see this howto.

As it is shown, you would create a seperate user & password file.
You can change the AuthType to auth against sme users.

Read the links suggested & search the forums for other examples too.
