Password protect individual cameras

Under Global Settings it's possible to protect all cameras with a global username and password.

With manual file editing it's also possible to protect individual cameras with a private username and password:

1. Turn off the global password protection in Global Settings dialog by clearing both User Name and Password.
2. The files to be edited can be found by clicking on Settings - Global Settings - Open location of httpd_conf_editable and httpd_log.
3. Open a command prompt and change directory to the folder mentioned in point 2.
4. In the command prompt type the following line to create a password file for your camera:
   "C:\Program Files (x86)\ContaCam\microapache\htpasswd.exe" -c httpd_pw_cameraname.txt username
5. Open httpd_conf_editable.txt and append the following:
   <Location "/Camera Name">
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile "C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Contaware/ContaCam/httpd_pw_cameraname.txt"
   AuthName "Camera Name"
   Require valid-user
   </Location>
6. In the above pasted text set the correct camera name and the full path to httpd_pw_cameraname.txt.
7. Save httpd_conf_editable.txt and restart ContaCam.

Notes

• Repeat 2. - 7. for each private camera.
• httpd_conf_editable.txt survives ContaCam updates.
