Re: [Motion-user] Password protection for live motion stream

[Lars Ö. <mot...@fr...>]

It's been mentioned on the list before:

Basic authentication enforced reverse proxy for apache (yep, tested too!):

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName www.example.com
     ServerAlias example.com
     DocumentRoot /opt/http-root/
     <IfModule itk.c>
         AssignUserID apache apache
     </IfModule>

     <Location /motion> #ww.example.com/motion
       AuthType Basic
       AuthUserFile /opt/not-http-root/passwords/motion.htpassword
       AuthName "Protected Motion"
       Require valid-user
     </Location>

     <Proxy *>
       Order deny,allow
       Allow from all
     </Proxy>

     ProxyPass /motion http://127.0.0.1:8081
     ProxyPassReverse /motion http://127.0.0.1:8081

</VirtualHost>
