Adding Authentication? #154

Closed cmpsoares91 closed 10 years ago

Can't figure out how to protect Genghis with user and password... :-S

Is this even possible? Could be a nice feature though!

The easiest way is to configure your server to use HTTP Basic Auth. Instructions for that vary depending on what sort of server you're using. If you're using Ruby, a config.ru file like this would do the trick:

require 'genghis'

use Rack::Auth::Basic, 'Genghis' do |u, p|
  u == 'admin' && p == 'hunter2'
end

run Genghis::Server

Then run it with rackup instead of genghisapp.
