Hi,

Is there a risk to use the basic authentification if the connexion to the server is made using reflector (which enable HTTPS ) ?

Regards,

Julien

As long as the request is made over HTTPS, basic authentication should be okay.

Hi Matt,

I had basic auth working for about a day and now the site request password again. Any thoughts? I've reset Indigo a couple times troubleshooting a plugin earlier and now it's like I'm back to square one with the auth doing digest - I recreated the file using non-lossy ASCII and saved in the folder Indigo Web Server, am I missing something else?

Thank you,
Daniel

Hi Matt,

So weird, just started working again! But not going to complain about things sorting themselves out (I also spent a couple hours configuring it further)! Hopefully now I’m stable with startups from this point forward.

Thank you,
Daniel

Hi Matt,

I figured that updating to 2021.1 was going to throw me a couple of curveballs - I ran into this one in the log keeps coming up 4 entries every minute:
access denied "http://indigodomo.net:14209/controlpage" from username @ 127.0.0.1

I copied over the states url folder into the Indigo Web Server folder and then added the basic auth file into the folder as well, created the public folder and added the images for static URLs like in 7.5, just not getting the log to align that everything is alright - what do you think that this error means?

Thank you,
Daniel

HTTP Basic auth is now configurable in the Start Local Server dialog, so I'd undo the basic auth file change and see if that solves the issue.

Hi Jay,

That solved it - thanks! I vaguely remember seeing that in the blog post and glanced over the new start server, but had missed that checkbox - really appreciate the solution.

Thank you,
Daniel
