possbility to login to pihole using basic authentication

[frollic]

Hi,

I have two piholes set up, and exposed to the internet, and I'd like to use your script to keep them in sync.
But to get some extra security on both, I've password protected the whole /admin sub URL using lighttpds' basic authentication.

Would it be possible to have the additional authentication added to your script ?

The extra configuration required in lighttpd.conf is as follows.
You obviously also need to insert logon info into the .htpasswd file.

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/admin/.(.*)" {
url.access-deny = ("")
}

auth.backend = "htpasswd"
auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/etc/lighttpd/.htpasswd"
auth.require = ( "/admin/" =>
(
"method" => "basic",
"realm" => "cool access",
"require" => "valid-user",
)
)

thank you in advance
