How Can I Secure AmphetaDesk With Apache?
If you’ve already got the Apache webserver installed (a good bet for Mac OS X and Linux systems), you can use it to provide some access control for a remotely available AmphetaDesk installation. With the following tip, you’ll be able to prevent AmphetaDesk access based on IP, hostname, or user authentication. You’ll need to modify the Apache configuration file for the following tip to work – if you don’t have that ability, you may be able to use an .htaccess file instead. If you have no clue what I’m talking about, your best bet is to familiarize yourself with the Apache documentation. • Start AmphetaDesk on a server you control. • Open Apache’s httpd.conf file for editing. • Add the following block of configuration, tweaking as needed: ProxyPass /AmphetaDesk/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/
