Change temporary password protection - GermanZero-de/localzero-monitoring GitHub Wiki

The testing stage is protected with basic authentication to prevent untested and potentially insecure code to be vulnerable.

The credentials for testing are configured in config/nginx/extras-testing/extras.conf. A new user or password may be set by running

htpasswd -c htpasswd <username>

and copying the resulting file to /home/monitoring/testing/htpasswd on the server. Do not commit the file to git!

The htpasswd tool might have to be installed before with (on Linux):

sudo apt install apache2-utils

Local development as well as the production stage do not require basic auth.
