Hi all, today being a boring evening, I tinkered around a little with my and others icecast servers (v1.3.11, btw). :) I found that /admin.html et al is only good for getting some help or listing connected users, at best. When it comes to administration, i had some problems: I wasn't able to create valid aliases through the web interface at all, neither with IE under Windows nor lynx. Colons and slashes get converted to %somethings, resulting in invalid URLs and mountpoints. Is this a bug or am I doing anything wrong? I wasn't able to delete aliases I created on the web interface, also propably because of the %nn problem. Your help is very appreciated, thanks in advance! One last thing ... since admin.html is very powerful (especially because "set" shows the passwords either in a small hash or clear text!), I'd highly recommend to set less open ACLs in the default icecast.conf. My suggestion would be: <snip> # When using the internal acl rules, you need to specify a policy. # This rule kicks in when no allow or deny rule affects a connection. # If you set acl_policy to 1, then connections who are not denied by any # deny rule will be allowed, and the other way around if you set it to 0. # The following default settings allow anyone to be source or client, while # only users on localhost may log in as admin on the console or view # /admin.html. ######################### acl_policy 0 allow client * allow source * allow admin localhost # allow admin *.your.local.domain </snip> Sorry for not supplying a .diff ... never created one of those yet.
