I have NR running on IBM Cloud and have worked out continuous delivery and toolchain etc. I would like to have basic security for the Dashboard as descibed in the Security section of the Getting Started but there is no
The `httpNodeAuth` property in your `settings.js` file can be used to define a single username and password that will be allowed to access the routes.
Any advice appreciated

On IBM Cloud the file is bluemix\_settings.js

Yes thanks I have seen that but where and what do I edit. I have this working on a pi but it only needs uncommenting and adding a user and bcrpyt password.

The files do look a little bit different, but hopefully you can see they both have a block that starts `module.exports = {`
Copy over the setting you want into that block - make sure it is comma separated from any previous or following setting.

What have you tried?
You'll need to add an `httpNodeAuth` setting inside the `module.exports` block of your `bluemix-settings.js` file - [https://github.com/IBM/node-red-app/blob/master/bluemix-settings.js](https://github.com/IBM/node-red-app/blob/master/bluemix-settings.js)
The details of what to use for the setting are documented here: [https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/runtime/securing-node-red#http-node-security](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/runtime/securing-node-red#http-node-security)

i copied the httpNodeAuth: {user:"xxxx",pass:"$2b$08$8TNd8W.YHbtlYQLccCAw8ejJPkT2DmE/LS37Qit0gY.qRm9.xQQHK"},
to bluemix\_settings.js but didn't work

it only needed to stop the application and update thz bluemix-settings-js and re-deploy the application ( if anyone had the same issue as me) thank you.
