How to authorize the administrator
Use AUTH=admin option to specify
how to authenticate a remote user and authorize the remote administration
of this DeleGate.
Example: permit a user "dgadmin" to do administration
SERVER=http -P8080/admin AUTH="admin::dgadmin:dgpass"
In this example,
if the client send the username "dgadmin" with the password "dgpass",
then the client is authorized to be the administrator.
Remote administration is recommended to be done via
HTTPS/SSL,
accessing this server as "https://thisHost:8080/-/admin/".
A port number followed by "/admin" means accepting HTTPS/SSL
on the port.
DeleGate for any application protocol can have a dedicated port for
administration.
Example: admin-port for non-HTTP server
SERVER=ftp -P21,9021/admin AUTH="admin::dgadmin:dgpass"
