Can't set up mythweb auth in control centre

[laga]

Binary package hint: mythbuntu-control-centre

To add mythweb auth to the control centre, one could set the appropriate debconf variables and call /var/lib/dpkg/info/mythweb.postinst

[Andrew Barbaccia (andrew-barbaccia)]

Currently mcc updates /etc/mythtv/mythweb-digest with the correct user and password digest provided by the user. This file is not yet implemented though.

Needed:
* update the <webroot>/mythweb.conf.apache file to use mythweb-digest authentication
 -- uncomment auth lines given as example
 -- update AuthUserFile to /etc/mythtv/mythweb-digest
 -- OPTIONAL: uncomment top lines to enable access for unauthenticated streaming players

* move the mythweb.conf.apache file from webroot to /etc/apache2/conf.d/

Andrew,

everything you have described there was already present in the 0.20 builds (except for "OPTIONAL: uncomment top lines to enable access for unauthenticated streaming players" which I probably won't implement for security reasons). There was a problem with 0.21 which has been fixed in the last mythplugins upload.

I probably forgot to close this bug when I added authentication support to MythWeb last year..
