Does the LabView support htaccess/htpasswd security for WebPages?

[kolan]

There is a server with LabView's executable which makes reports on the server folder.

Need to get access to the executable through RemotePanels and to html/txt/xls-reports through the same LabView WebServer.

One solution is to use LabView WebServer + Apache or +GServer (has no advantages over Apache).

But in this case we need to authentificate for 2 times: 1.Apache, 2.LabView WebServer.

G-Server with cgi-scripts is not a solution because of there is a lot of text fields on panels and events (too many) and NI recommends to use LabView embedded WebServer for panels, not a G-Server.

Has anybody a solution?

Please forgive me but I am unclear on what it is you are looking for.  Can you please clarify?

I did a quick search on ni.com for htaccess and found the following two pages.  Have you seen these yet and does this help at all?

KnowledgeBase 3FNERTVB:  How to Setup Security for the G Server?

KnowledgeBase 4J1DPELC: Can I Enable G Web Server Authentication for My LabVIEW Remote Front Panel?

I have seen both 2 pages of course. And more I can say that in LV2009 the second example does not work even in LV Development Environment (G-server does not protect html-files). And I have not found any ways to create password hashes like htpasswd.exe in Apache do it dinamically for the first one. I want to get security for remote panels and html-documents thus the user don't have to enter login/pass for 2 times and linked LabView's executable can create password hashes when the user wants to change it.

I'll be appreciative for any help or technique.

For the Apache information, you'll probably have to check with Apache support or forums.  

Otherwise you are probably going to just have to use 2 passwords for the 2 different web servers.  Alternately, you can always just use the LabVIEW Webserver without Apache.  Dont know if anyone else out there has any other ideas...

But LabView Web Server does not allow html-pages protection so I think this is a question addressed to LabView engeneers.

I have just realized remote control with one time input password necessity for 2 web-servers: Apache and LabView (embedded).

The way is to analize Apache/htaccess.log from VI.
