Bug and new feature request: multi-level user/password system
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:25:01 UTC
After publishing this text in the developers discussion area, i was suggested to publish it here in the bug tracking system for slimserver. Original Message: Hello, after installing and testing SlimServer, Version 5.1.5 on a windows platform, I realized some problems that I'm not able to solve, maybe because of this feature isn't even included in SlimServer. I will list it as short as possible: 1. I have to activate password-protection on SlimServer 2. I do not block remote streaming request, due to my remote workplace where I wanna listen to my music. All local IP adresses including 127.0.0.1 are included in the not-block-list. 3. When using this configuration, every time trying to login from local machine or any machine in the lan I have to enter username and password. 4. When I give another person access to my stream, this person is fully able to reconfigure the SlimServer via Web-Panel-Configuration. After my opinion SlimServer needs a multi-level password-protection. 1. Switchable password protection from LAN with IP detection and binding 2. Switchable password protection for the Web-Configuration panel 3. Switchable password protection for the remote streaming via stream.mp3 4. most important: different possible users and passwords for these three access condition. It would be best if even every LAN-machine could be allowed or forbidden to access configuration-panel. For the children should only have access to their audio-books and kids music playlists, wife getting full access, guests on remote streaming locations should be able to listen but do nothing else. If I have overread something special in documentation, I have to apologize for this posting. Thanks for reading. Sincerely Uwe

Please please please... considering bumping this up on the priority listing. This is something that I thought was already a possibility and I am crushed that I can't give out accounts to friends and family.. As mentioned.... each account needs to be able to be fully configured by the admin to figure out what privledges they should have... any update as to if this is on the roadmap and when we might be able to see this would be great. Thanks!

additionally, i'd like to be able to restrict users to controlling only their own player, avoiding mistakes and mischievousness... You could perhaps do this by restricting a named user account to a particular player, but it might be more elegant to have a general 'guest' account that can control only players using the same IP subnet as the user's browser.
Any updates on this one?
ping!
