Good Morning,


We use the good ol' email system from hobbit to send alerts.  The emails
that they receive however are in taged html format and it can be difficult
for them to read.

Is there a way to display just what is being alerted besides the whole
page....

It just seems so tedious that they need to try to scan all the html text to
find the error.

Thanks again hobbit gurus..

I have several pages that I would like to password protect in the same way that the enable/disable and acknowledge capabilities are password protected.

1) I have an entire subpage that I would like to protect
2) I would like for all notes to be protected

If it would be possible to login once and it remembers the session (I think the current enable/disable works that way), that would be preferred since I wouldn't want to have to login each time I clicked the links, just once to confirm that I'm an authorized person.

Thanks!

Hobbit uses standard Web server authentication methods, so you should
look at your httpd.conf config for this.  Using additional <Directory>
or <Location> containers should help you out.  Use the same AuthRealm
setting for all of these containers (same as you use on the cgi-secure
directory), and you will not get additional prompts for credentials.

Authentication is Apache's job (or IIS, lighttpd, etc).

With groups you can create subdirs in the URL and therefor password
protect each subdir/group.

There was a hobbit-apache.conf in /etc/hobbit that looked like the place to start. I added:

--------------Begin Copy/Paste-------------------
Alias /hobbit/Facilities/  "/var/lib/hobbit/www/Facilities/"
<Directory "/var/lib/hobbit/www/Facilities">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

    AuthUserFile /etc/hobbit/hobbitpasswd
    AuthGroupFile /etc/hobbit/hobbitgroups
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Hobbit Administration"

    Require valid-user

</Directory>
-------------End Copy/Paste-------------------

I then restarted the server and... it worked like a charm. Thanks to everyone for all of your help!!! It would have taken me forever without a prod or two in the right direction.

Thanks!
