Limiting slimserver web interface on a per user basis
Last modified: 2011-03-16 04:39:17 UTC
I would like to autorize a couple of friends and relatives to use softsqueeze to stream from my slimserver. But also I would like to let them use the web interface so they can browse my collection and create their own playlist in a much more user friendly way. It would be nice if there was a way to limit the web interface so they can only browse the music collection and manage their player settings but have NO access whatsoever to the server settings? Of course I would need to maintain full access.
There is a plugin to password protect the setup pages http://www.herger.net/slim-plugins/detail.php?nr=428&kategorie=slim-plugins
WildCoder, I take it from your posts on the forum that this is no longer an issue?
Going to run with use the NoSetup plugin - and it sounds like Michael is updating it to have more features.
I'll see what new features Michael can put in NoSetup. That might work. Even though I *think* it'll be an IP based filter. Whereas I would preffer the server setting page to be password protected so I can still access it from friends' computers which have otherwise a limited access. Another solution may be to have 2 password for the web interface: an admin password and a regular user password. If you log in with the admin one, the server settings page is accessible, if you log in with the user one it's not. But I administrate a few linux servers so I'm used to entering root password only when needed, same goes for windows where I always run in a limited account and switch to admin only when needed. I can see the majority of your users not wanting to have to enter a password. Anyway let's see what Michael can cook up first.
