Restrict access to Sarg Reports page

Bruco

I'm sorry to resurrect this old thread, but it's exactly what I'm trying to do as well and I ran into issues.

If I create a user and assign only the WebCfg - Status: Sarg reports permission, then login with that user, it brings me to the Sarg reports page, but then gets stuck in an endless refresh loop. I've tried with multiple browsers and have the same issue.

Is there some other permission, perhaps on the file level, that I should try making?

Thanks!

Edit: I should add that I'm accessing through http, and on a non-standard port, if that makes a difference.

Are you using the latest sarg package version?

Bruco

Looks like the package version is listed as 2.3.2 pkg v.0.6.1

I've found the problem, reinstall the package in 15 minutes(no version bump).

Thank´s for your feedback. :)

Bruco

No, thank YOU for your hard work!

I'll try re-installing later this evening and report back here with results.

Bruco

Works perfectly! Thanks again; this is great functionality to have in pfSense!

Hi,

Sorry for asking same info which may be clearly specified in this thread but it is little difficult for me to understand as new user to Ubuntu and Squid/sarg.

I am running Ubuntu server 12.04 with Squid 3.1 and using Sarg 2.3.2 to track usage of internet. I am not doing any billing or any fancy stuff with Sarg. Everythign works fine for the purpose.

I am able to access sarg reports when i do ipaddress/sarg as well. I want to remove open access to those reports and create users who can authencate and veiw reports. It will be great if somebody can give me detail process how can I assign approriate rights and create users who can just view generated reports only.

Thank you in advance.

This package is for pfsense , not for ubuntu. ;)

on ubuntu, you need just an .htaccess on your apache dir/config
