I have protected LabView's VIs with login and password but I want to protect html/xls/png-reports too.
I know that LabView's WebServer support sertificates but it is very difficult for a customer.
G-Server is not a solve because it does not protect data from/to remote panels and the server may be cracked.
G-Server with cgi-scripts is not a solve too because I have a lot of text fields (too many) and want to control many different events.
In the Apache Web Server and most other web-servers there is an ability to create two files .htaccess and .htpasswd.
Does the LabView's WebServer support security by this 2 files?

I would use encryption instead it is really very easy to do with Blowfish. It is a free program on NI. It is also very easy to use.

Thanks for answer, but there is no way to encrypt RemotePanels access over TCP/IP.
And WebBrowser does not support this encryption.
Need security at another level.
I'll try to describe the problem in detail.
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.
Has anybody a solution?
