Password for WebGui

Post by testo »

Hi,

I have SABNZBD running on a debian server. In configuration I set a password for the GUI.

But as long as SABNZBD is running I can access it via Webbrowser from another PC under 192.168.x.xxx:8080 and no password is required. Is this behaviour correct?

Can I make a setting, that every time someone accesses the webgui a password is required?

Thanks
Testo

Maybe you saved the password in the PC's webbrowser?

No, there comes no page where you have to enter PW information. After calling I'm directly in the webgui of SABNZBD.

I checked, and that's how Chrome behaves on Windows in case of remembered username/password. So ... do you use Chrome on Windows?

IE does ask for a confirmation of the remembered credentials.

Hi sander,

sabnzbd runs on debian. The Mac I called the server from runs on OSX 10.8. I tried with Firefox, but also used Iron and the Webinterface opens without questioning a password. I never opened the page with Iron before, so there could not be a saved password...

On the debian system:

What is the output of

Code: Select all

lynx --dump http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/
Mine:

Code: Select all

sander@haring:~$ lynx --dump http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/
HTTP: Access authorization required.
       Use the -auth=id:pw parameter.

Looking up localhost:8080
Making HTTP connection to localhost:8080
Sending HTTP request.
HTTP request sent; waiting for response.
Alert!: Access without authorization denied -- retrying

lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/
sander@haring:~$

Still on your debian, what is the output of:

Code: Select all

cat ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini | grep -i -e username -e "password " | head -2
