Password for https only

Post by Duumke »

I wanted to know if it's possible to only require a password on the https and not on http.
This will allow me to open up the https port to the internet (securely) and don't need to set a password on the internal side (http).
I hope this is possible.

No, it's not possible.
However, you can let most web browsers save the password.
In some later release we'll implement persistent logins through cookies.

Using Chrome that isn't an option (at least not for as far as I've seen).

This sounds like a great way to work around it.

Using a web browser extension like nzbdstatus or sabconnect++ should also auto-login
Thanx !!!
This works great.

IE8 allows saving of passwords in the prompt for passwords window, so you should work with that I guess.
Chrome doesn't allow that.
