Disable username/password for remote connections on LAN

Post by IMTheNachoMan »

Is it possible to disable username/password requirement from LAN connections?

If not, is it possible to disable username/password entirely?

No.

What companies do is have a domain controller, so that user accounts are shared between the various machines. That way just by logging in to Windows, you automatically have access to network shares. So Syncovery would not need separate credentials for a network connection.

But that's way too much change for a private network, you should just live with the way it is.

I should have clarified. I meant for the Syncovery Web GUI on port 8999. Even with the nossl parameter, it requires username and password.

http://localhost:8999 does not require it but only works on the system that is running it.

http://serverhost:8999 does require it. I want to disable it here.

Is that what you were answering to?

Hi,
no, that's not what I thought you were asking.

For the web GUI, currently there is no switch to turn off the login requirement. I will consider it for a future update.

Got it. Thank you!

I trust all the devices on my trust VLAN. Only approved devices can get on it. So no need for login/pass on any apps running on them.
