[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6548"] [b]Securing Maschine's webscheduler with .htaccess[/b] Hi, First of all thanks to Maschine for a great tool. I've made a guide to secure access to the webscheduler: To secure a folder with .htaccess you ned to create 2 plain textfiles ( use notepad or semilar ) The files must be places in the same folder as Mashines PHP files in my case C:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs First we create a file that tells apache to secure the folder: - First we create a file called htaccess in the above folder ( be sore you have no extension on the file ) - Launch a dos command ( start - run - "cmd" and press enter ) - type "cd C:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs" ( without quotes) - type ren htaccess .htaccess ( this because windows will not let you create a file called .htaccess ) - exit dos command - open the file (.htaccess) with notepad - Fill in this (following 4 lines): AuthName "Enter username and password to access Maschine's webscheduler" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile c:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\htpasswd require valid-user - (AuthUserFile tells apache where to look for the usernames and passwords, more about that file later.) - Save the file and exit notepad. Now we create a file with users and passwords: - Create a file called htpasswd (again, no extension) - Open the file - The format of the file is user:password fx: santa:christmas merry:newyear The 2 lines above will alow santa to access the site with one password and merry to access it with another. If you want to encrypt the passwords look here [url]http://www.webcafe.dk/artikler/apache/htaccesskrypterpassword/[/url] I now it's danish but i guess you all speak danish ;-) - Type your username in the "Brugernavn" textbox - Type your password in "Password" textbox - Press "Krypter" button - the line to fill into your htpasswd is written in red (fx dk_akj:ZGC9H3.puTezA ) - Save the file and exit notepad. - Close all browsers - Open webscheduler and see if it works. NB: I'm novice in Apacheworld so please feel free to correct me if something is wrong. Anders [/QUOTE]
