How to enable login function with SQLite?

[samiux]

I am using the latest version of EveBox with SQLite. How to enable login function with that?

This needs to be cleaned up in the documentation.. But here are some pointers:

• Documentation on authentication that isn't in the new docs, but still valid: https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/blob/0.17.x/doc/authentication.rst
• Configuration file example: https://github.com/jasonish/evebox/blob/0.17.x/doc/authentication.rst

Note that in git master that the authentication type of just "username" no longer exists, and that authentication is enabled by default.

I'll try to cleanup the docs this week, but please ask any questions here.

I have added the user and password with the command :

sudo -u evebox evebox config -D /var/lib/evebox users add

and confirmed that the user has been added properly.

evebox.yaml

authentication: required: true type: usernamepassword

However, when I start the browser and clear all the cookies, the login screen still does not appear.

Hmm.. Server started with -D /var/lib/evebox and -c /path/to/evebox.yaml?

[samiux]

Sorry, I forgot to add -c /etc/evebox/evebox.yaml in the startup command. It works fine now. Thank you for your help.

No worries, this is all poorly documented at this time.

Is it possible to create user and his/her password via bash script without interaction?

Is it possible to create user and his/her password via bash script without interaction?

Yes, the users command can take --password and --username command line arguments.

[samiux]

sudo -u evebox evebox config -D /var/lib/evebox users --password mypassword --username myname error: unexpected argument '--password' found

Usage: evebox config users [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]

For more information, try '--help'.

However, the following is working fine.

sudo -u evebox evebox config -D /var/lib/evebox users add -u myname -p mypassword

Ah, sorry. I added the longer versions in the dev version. Glad its working now.
