v20 v21 40 40 41 41 {{{#!div class="box" 42 == Module Options == 43 44 Version 0.17 introduces authentication module options so that each authentication module can specify options to configure its behaviour. 45 The same module may be used with different types of sockets (tcp-auth vs auth), each with a different set of options. 46 For more details see ticket:1159#comment:1. 47 48 Some examples: 49 * {{{XPRA_PASSWORD=mysecret xpra start --auth=env}}} 50 * {{{SOME_OTHER_ENV_VAR_NAME=mysecret xpra start --auth=env:name=SOME_OTHER_ENV_VAR_NAME}}} 51 * {{{xpra start --auth=password:value=mysecret}}} 52 * {{{xpra start --auth=file:filename=mypasswordfile.txt}}} 53 * {{{xpra start --auth=multifile:filename=userlist.txt}}} 54 55 The most common used option is the file / multifile filename option, see below. 56 }}} 57 58 {{{#!div class="box" 42 59 == Password File == 43 60 44 When used without the [/wiki/ProxyServer Proxy Server], the password file can contain a simple password in plain text.45 [[BR]] 46 See [/ProxyServer#FileAuthenticationExtras proxy server file authentication] for more advanced usage.61 In versions before 0.17, the password file could contain a single password or multiple usernames and passwords. This was confusing and error prone, which is why 0.17 has distinct modules for each use case: file and multifile. See #1159 for details. 62 63 For more information on the multifile password file format, see [/ProxyServer#FileAuthenticationExtras proxy server file authentication]. 47 64 }}} 48 65
