How to set password when accessing the TiddlyWiki?

#1

I want to put my tiddlywiki on a server, which I can access it wherever I want like company or school or home. But of course I don’t want others to visit it, so how to set a password to access the tiddlywiki? I can’t find straight answer about it.

And another thing:
I try the lock button on the right side tool bar, but I don’t know to use it, I click it, set a password, after reload the page, the locked button became unlocked and I don’t need to type in password.
And I check the td file in the tiddler folder. Those td file saved in plain text with out encryption, I don’t know the meaning of the lock button.

Which version of TW do you use. Node-js or a single file wiki?

#3

nodejs version

5.1.23

#4

If you use the “node version” the “Lock button” doesn’t do anything. It’s the encryption function for a single file wiki. … (We need to improve the documentation here)

If you need a password to access your server version, you should use the authentication mechanisms that come with your server.

I would recommend to use nginx or apache as a reverse proxy in front of your node server.

And have a closer look at the TW docs about authentication
