corect?


The web interfaces uses http authentication and sets up (by default as I recall) a .htaccess file in your cgi-bin directory (e.g. /var/www/cgi-bin) like:

[root@axisbackup ~]# cat /var/www/cgi-bin/.htaccess
    AuthGroupFile /etc/httpd/conf/group    # <--- change path as needed
    AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/passwd     # <--- change path as needed
    AuthType basic
    AuthName "AxisBackup Access"
    require valid-user

So, with this, you'd add a new user with:

htpasswd /etc/httpd/conf/passwd newusername

You'll be prompted for the password and then that user (newusername) will be added to the /etc/httpd/conf/passwd file and will then be able to log in. Link them to hosts in the backuppc hosts file and you should be all set.
