Enterprise users often attach the management interface of HAAst to an IP on a management VLAN. Access to this VLAN is restricted to administrators, so in this case they usually don’t want to authenticate again – and that’s the default.
However, if you would like access to the HAAst web GUI to force authentication, you can add security using the steps outlined in section 3.4.5 of the installation guide (Secure the Web Interface). I’ll repeat the Linux command here to save you from digging out the manual:
htpasswd -c /usr/local/haast/web_interface/.htpasswd user1
The above line will create username ‘user1’ and then prompt for a password to be associated with the username. To reset the password just repeat the process.
