OpenWebif to request password on loading?

[outrage_uk]

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, didn't know where to put it

Is there a way for OpenWebif to request password on loading to restrict some users on the network?

I've been reading and im pretty sure other people have somehow but have to use root / password - but I can't even get that set up?

Thanks.

Goto menu/plugins/openwebif and put yes next to enable http authentication and enable https and also enable authentication for streaming the push green to save.

Can I install my own SSL certificates on the server (since I do have my own CA set-up for my own systems)?

What I'd really liek here is the ability to require a password only for connexions from hosts which are not on the local network. I don't really mind the rest of the family connecting at home without one.

Did you get this to work?

SSH with certs/password and port forwards to the openwebif ports?

Haven't had any answer yet, and haven't tried.
To some extent it's not all that relevant to me as I'd only really want that if I were allowing streaming externally using port forwarding, and there isn't much point in streaming over my ADSL upload link. I was just wondering how configurable access control was.

So what I'd actually like is to require password (or SSL certificate, ...) access to the admin pages, while allowing anonymous access to the available recordings and streaming (i.e. authenticate the write parts but not the read-only parts). That way I can set a password and the rest of the family can still stream, without me worrying that they might screw up the box.
