ReverseProxy and htaccess login on the GUI failed

[Lacky 0]

Hi everyone,

 

for security reasons and the unavailability of https I would like to connect to my HC2 through an reverse proxy. This generally works well.

 

Now I want to protect this access also via .htaccess because I don´t know how secure the login of the HC2-surface is.

 

I now secure access with htaccess, so the login fails at the HC2-surface. I get the message "wrong password". But the login without .htaccess configuration works well with the same password.

 

I suspect an error in the code of Fibaro. Can anyone confirm this?

 

How can i solve this problem?

 

Thanks in advance

By not using .htaccess. It will not work.

 

Use VPN or why not (as I do) port knocking.

But here is a pretty darn good guide for the same equipment that I use at my home (MIkrotik), and it is definitely more structured

It will not work, because of an issue in fibaro´s software! For example, with an wordpress installation the login works perfectly!

 

VPN is not a solution for me, because i can´t connect over VPN @work. It´s not allowed. 

 

Port knocking is only possible with additional hardware, right? So this is also not the preferred solution.

 

So i will open a ticket  :->

Thanks, I also do have a Mikrotik, so I'm going to try it.
