RKF Security
RKF Security and how to best use it with your Clan.
 |
The
Different Options You have three options with regard to securing your RKF's. These are no security (not recommended), password based and URL authentication using htaccess / htpasswd technology. See below for more information on the set-up as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each method. |
| Security Method | Set-up / Advantages / Disadvantages |
| No Security (RKF Security Disabled) | Untick the 'RKF Security Enabled'
check box. Very easy to manage of course but means that anyone that gets hold of your RKF can gain access to your server's RCON. |
| Password Based | Tick 'RKF Security Enabled' and
select option 'Protect With Password'. Provides a better solution to keep your RKF safe however if a Clan Member leaves your Clan you must re-issue your RKF's again with a new password after you have changed the servers RCON password too. Can be a bit of a headache if you have a high Membership turnaround. |
| URL Authentication using htaccess / htpasswd technology | Tick 'RKF Security Enabled'
and select option 'Protect Using htaccess'. Enter the
URL of the secured webspace in the 'Authorisation URL'
box and the URL to the webpage that details how a Clan
Member goes about getting his / her username added
to the secure webspace area in the 'New Member Registration
URL'. |
