Topic: How do i disable the login/authorization feature?

The images directory and CMS that I'm using the ImageManager for already has password protection on it. So I dont need an additional login authorization when opening the ImageManager.

Im sure this is a simple solution, but everytime i try to modify it i end up breaking something. So how do i remove the login/authorization feature from ImageManager?

Thanks a mil in advance! smile

Set the Authenticator to empty string.

I am trying to do this, too.  What and where is the "Authenticator" referred to please?

Check the Wiki documentation. Disable it on your own risk.

Thank you.

Does this mean that this line, in the case of the ImageManager file "config.php":

$mcImageManagerConfig['authenticator'] = "SessionAuthenticator";

... should be replaced with:

$mcImageManagerConfig['authenticator'] = "";

... and similarly, that this line, in the case of the FileManager file "config.php":

$mcFileManagerConfig['authenticator'] = "SessionAuthenticator";

... should be replaced with:

$mcFileManagerConfig['authenticator'] = "";

?  Thank you.

Yep if you do that all authentication will be disabled. So if it's protected by ip blocking, internal network or some basic authentication is Apache/IIS you should be fine.

It's protected by an .htaccess username/password.  If that protection would be inadequate or problematic, please tell me.  Otherwise, thank you very much for your assistance.

That would work just fine. Just checking. smile

Re: How do i disable the login/authorization feature?

I am also trying to do this and;

wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/MCI … entication
wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/MCI … henticator

doesn't go anywhere except to the useless wiki home page which then never leads me anywhere useful. I managed by some fluke to find the values mentioned above and I have set them to "" as said above but authentication is still appearing.  So I am not sure what I am missing.

I would like to point out that no where else on the Internet have I found such useless information and unhelpful people.  If you ask a question you are lucky to get more than one word answers and if there ever is a link it is broken.  Even the link in the README was wrong.  I am appalled.  This place is an example of how not to treat your clients.

We have docs, we provide excellent support since I some times even configure the machine for people that need help using SSH or FTP. The links are old but they redirect a.f.a.i.k. to the docs below. The forum thread here has links to the docs as well. Not sure what kind of support or docs you are looking for. But you need to have some basic PHP or .NET skills to use these products since their authentication needs to be integrated into your system. Unfortunately we can't write a perfect documentation for your system since we know nothing about it so we only provide generic instructions and the default example page that you come to when not being authenticated.

You need to authenticate using sessions or any of the CMS specific authenticators we provide. See:

Re: How do i disable the login/authorization feature?

I've followed those instructions and it is still asking for authentication.

Things I've tried:
- setting only 'authenticator' to ""
- Every value in config.php with the word authenticator has been set to ""
- deleted the login_session_auth.php file
- ignoring the login request and just clicking login

It did work for a while after I deleted the login_session_auth.php file but then it started asking for authentication again.  Thanks for your help.

Re: How do i disable the login/authorization feature?

I would suggest that you reset the config file and only change to the following.

$mcImageManagerConfig['authenticator'] = "";
$mcFileManagerConfig['authenticator'] = "";
