Hi list,
I used to have mythweb setup so that I had to enter a password to get
in. I recently noticed this is no longer the case. I looked at the
wiki and saw that my system likely was not configured properly. After
trying to configure it, mythweb is still not requiring a password.
I did the following:
Added the following stanza to /etc/httpd/conf.d/mythweb.conf right
before the </Directory> line (the wiki said to uncomment these lines;
however, they were not in there at all)
AuthType Digest
AuthName "MythTV"
AuthUserFile /var/www/htdigest
Require valid-user
BrowserMatch "MSIE" AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack=On
Order allow,deny
Satisfy any
Then I executed the following command and gave a password when requested:
htdigest -c /etc/httpd/conf/httpd-passwords MythTV gabe
I noticed that that the path was different than what is specified in
the mythweb.conf file, so I also did this:
htdigest -c /var/www/htdigest MythTV gabe
After doing both, I am still not prompted for a password. I am
wondering if it is because I recently went on to the mythweb page so
it is not requesting a password? Either way, some help securing
mythweb would be greatly appreciated.
