No Anonymous Photo Gallery Access

[bullfrog]

Hi,

I can currently provide security on the iTunes folder so people cannot see anything until they have logged on but I want to perform the same for the gallery access but does not appear to work, is there some sort of guest account that is allowing this access?

Thanks

I think the photo gallery always allow anonymous access.

I have worked out the anonymous access. I have just used the .htaccess method.

used the following web page to generate the .htaccess and .htpasswd files since cannot find when SSH'd into the box

www.tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/

if any one knows how to link it to a Unix Group so when I use the web administration to do this that would be better.

The .htaccess file in the gallery from memory /opt/apache/gallery

I used the .htaccess / .htpasswd method but discovered that the files were being deleted from /img/htdocs/gallery/ on reboot.

I've got some code in /app/cfg/rc which copies the files from my webdisk folders to /img/htdocs/gallery/ just before apache starts during the boot process.

Thanks for that. I had a look but its a bit to technical for me.

Use the site:
www.tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/

to generate the files.

Then place the files into the folder that you want to protect.

Apache detects the files and asks for a username and password.

It's not an elegant solution but it does work.
