Enable User Login into WPT Private Instance - cannot use Google ID

WebPageTest Private Instances
1

Hi all,

New to WPT Private Instance.
Just setup the instance internal to my business unit.
The developers love it!
So thank you for this great tool Pat!

I was able to setup the environment with the help from the install instructions on this site as well as from Andy’s site.

The next challenge is the developers want to get the login feature that we have on the public instance on to our Private Instance. We cannot use our personal Google IDs. I tried searching for instructions on how to setup general login but did not find anything.

Looking for help in enabling this functionality.
Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Sri.

You could use htaccess and exclude /work directory.

Thanks for the reply Sandeep … But our team is primarily a IIS shop and none of us have any major experience with configuring Apache. Is there a dummies version of what we need to do to enable this access. Or if you can point me to any online resource that can educate us on how to set this up will be good too.

Thanks again,
Sri.
