By default "file-based" authentication is used.  To create an account for logging in, at the system console run:
htpasswd /etc/BackupPC/apache.users (username)

that will allow (username) to login with the password you've defined.  They'll only be able to see the workstation that they have been associated with in the Edit Hosts link.  If (username) is a member of the CgiAdminUsers (something like that), they have access to everything that backuppc user has.

In my environment, I have enabled LDAP authentication in apache, so users are able to login with their domain username/password (and only see workstations they have been associated with unless added to the CgiAdminUsers list.

That help?

Hi everyone. 

I'm new to using backuppc.

 I've managed to get it up and running on a Synology NAS with lighttpd. All is well. 

I have only one question remaining : What about ACLs for the CGI interface. I didn't get that part (at all) : can all people who connect on (it's on a VPN) http://10.20.30.5:8081/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin.pl see the whole thing ? 

Is there a way to add a login/pass to protect it ? Or is there another cgi-script that I missed ? Thx in advance.

NB : my friend Google didn't help me that much because i did not enter (it seems) the good query strings :(
