Possible to bring back login page?

Hi @gtrnz,

The forms-based login is back and is the default option.

If you're going to upgrade the plugin from inside the UI, please immediately restart Homebridge after doing so, then do a hard refresh (CTRL + F5 or CMD + SHIFT + R) of the UI. This will ensure everything keeps working smoothly.

For anyone else watching - if you want to change the auth method you can add it as an option in your config.json.

To turn back on Basic Authentication:

"platform":[
    {
      "platform": "config",
      "name": "Config",
      "port": 8080,
      "auth": "basic"
    }
]

To turn off authentication:

"platform":[
    {
      "platform": "config",
      "name": "Config",
      "port": 8080,
      "auth": false
    }
]

Hi @gtrnz,

This is something I'm working towards. The front end is using Angular 5 so the old method didn't work very well. I'm planning to re-implement this using JWT authentication which I'm already using for the Websocket connections.

My plans are to allow users to specify what auth method they want to use once I implement this, letting them choose from:

• Basic - what we have now
• Form - what you want
• None - useful for those running behind a reverse proxy that provides the auth layer

Just updated. Looks like by default it reverts to form style login like it used to be with out having an auth type defined in the config.
