Login page

[Martijn085]

Would it be possible to create a GUI login page? Some devices are now working correctly with the current user/pass settings (pop-up).

It would be great to have some login like SickBeard, CouchPotato or SABnzbd.

No I am not planning to add a login page.
Use the credential manager from your OS for that and give only users who are allowed to use autosub the right credentials.

If you want this because you do a portfoward in you router to access autosub I suggest you do not do that but instead create a VPN.
A simple login page build into autosub is not secure enough.

Ok, thanks for the reply.

Martijn,

If you fill the username/password for the webserver in the config page of autosub then you get a GUI login.

I still get the pop-up window to fill in the credentials...

I`m on the latest version Auto-Sub 1.0.5

[BenjV]

That is what you wanted I thought.

[Martijn085]

The pop-up always worked. The desire is to do this without pop-up and then with a graphical interface.

Now it works like this:

The desire is to make it as this (no pop-up):

Why?
What's the difference?

[Martijn085]

What is said in my first post: Some devices are now working correctly with the current user/pass settings (pop-up). For example; iPhone iOS won't save passwords with pop-ups.

And i think it looks a lot cleaner/better than a oldskool pop-up.

At the moment the login is generated by the webserver CherryPy.
The fact that iPhone's cannot store login credentials cannot be fixed at the application side.

If it is coded in autosub itself it would not be a possibility to save the user/name password in the browser at all, it wil be in the config.properties.
Autosub does not know anything about the client connection so either always supply the credentials at login by the user or let autosub fill it in from the config.properties but then the login will be gone completely and anybody could login.
