[feat] Password protect the control panel

[orson1282]

First of all, thanks for all the hard work! 👍

Can you maybe add an option to password protect the control panel...?
I'm thinking of reverse proxying it (with ssl) so I can access it remotely, so having it password protected would be a must-have feature.

Thanks.

@orson1282 this is possible, yes but requires some work and I have no time for that right now. I add this to my todos!

You could use nginx for this purpose anyway: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-password-authentication-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04

Would it be good?

[orson1282]

Awesome., thanks for the tip. Basic auth could work, since it would be going over an ssl connection.
Yeah I understand it would take some work to implement it as a form based auth, but thanks for adding it to the To do list for Z2M 3. 👍

@orson1282 Stay tuned 😄

Hi, any news on this? I was caught off guard by this being the only tool in my smart home without password protection. In the meantime I will have to figure out firewalling it off.
