I went some deep diving in terms of using the htpasswd
CLI and one can leverage a nice automated way of generating password for Node-RED admin authorization using bash and tools like envsubst
.
Although node-RED backend uses brcypt
for decryption, there were some things that I found out and hope to help the community in their node-RED journeys for security. I am very happy to discuss any suggestions, critiques or improvements. Just like everyone else I am happy to help and learn.
