Access Control
FreshRSS offers three methods of Access control: Form Authentication using Javascript, HTTP based Authentication, or an uncontrolled state with no authentication required.
Form Authentication
Form Authentication requires the use of Javascript. It will work on any supported version of PHP, but version 5.5 or newer is recommended (see footnote 1 in prerequisites for the reason why).
This option requires nothing more than selecting Form Authentication during installation.
HTTP Authentication
You may also choose to use HTTP Authentication provided by your web server.1
If you choose to use this option, create a ./p/i/.htaccess
file with a matching .htpasswd
file.
No Authentication
Not using authentication on your server is dangerous, as anyone with access to your server would be able to make changes as an admin. It is never advisable to not use any form of authentication, but never chose this option on a server that is able to be accessed outside of your home network.
Hints
You can switch your authentication method at any time by editing the ./data/config.php
file, on the line that begins 'auth_type'
.
