Content Server Login method

SASSBS · 07-23-2018, 02:04 AM

Hi All,

Currently if you don't want anyone editing your library you need to have authentication enabled, this is done via a http login box.

I was wondering if it would be possible for me to change the login method to a form based login as I find this works better for my setup.

Thanks

No, the server has to work with non-browser based applications such as OPDS clients, companion apps, etc. Form based login is not always possible in those contexts.
