Disable Basic AUTH on Repeater's WebGUI

Post by Prisma »

Hello,

Is it possible to disable Basic AUTH on Repeater's WebGUI completely?

I must confess I asked that before, but may be this was written too complex.

The repeater has no option for it.
Tested with port 0 but then is just start it on a high port

made a special build, set port to 0 and webio is not started
Then you still can set your settings once using port 80 and set it to 0 to block the later access

Thanks a lot Rudi,

but the goal was to disable webio's basic auth, not to disable webio entirely.

Access to Repeater is intended to be authenticated by a proxy in front of webio. Therefore, no authentication is required within webio itself. https://forum.uvnc.com/viewtopic.php?t=38085

But to be honest with you, in the meantime (as of today) we’ve implemented a working solution composed of a chain of
MS-app-proxy (for federated frontend authentication) → nginx (for passing basic auth credentials to webio) → webio (with basic authentication enabled but hidden from the user by nginx)
