Securing Etherpad admin with a password
Etherpad is insecure by default.
To secure etherpad edit
/usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/etc/etherpad.localdev-default.properties
Add the line (if it doesn’t already exist – it exists by default)
etherpad.adminPass = password
Replace password with your password
Edit the line
etherpad.isProduction = false
To read
etherpad.isProduction = true
Save the file and restart etherpad.
Etherpad Pro Sign In and Recovery password pages not working
Edit /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/src/templates/main/pro_signup_body.ejs
Replace
Existing Users: Sign in here (and all the surrounding html)
with
Existing Users: Visit your pad URL to sign in: (ie http://yourpad.yourhosturl.com)
Configure Etherpad Pro AFTER installation
So you have Etherpad installed and working? Now you want to allow users to have sub-domains and their own accounts? Maybe you want the privacy settings, I don’t know…
First off: Got your * dns wildcard in place? You are going to need it.
Then: Set up your smtp server
Finally: Remove the need for SSL
Oh yeah then: Fix the sign in link
