Update System Configuration

We recommend updating the authentication system from apache to htpasswd (so NMIS does authentication instead of Apache). 3 steps need to be taken to change this.

1. Change Config.nmis to tell NMIS to use htpasswd 

   Code Block
   %hash = ( --SNIP-- 'authentication' => { --SNIP-- 'auth_method_1' => 'htpasswd', # <= change this FROM apache TO htpasswd

2. Backup old apache configGenerate new apache configuration (if you have customised yours edit it and remove the auth portions instead of generating a new one) 

   Code Block
   #backup old config cd /etc/httpd/conf.d/ cp 00nmis.conf 00nmis.conf.pre-8.3.18G.bak

3. Create new config to replace old config and restart apache 

   Code Block
   /usr/local/nmis/bin/nmis.pl type=apache > /etc/httpd/conf.d/00nmis.conf service httpd restart
