Sign in to the console

A serve entry asks for a user of one of these groups with basic_auth: <group> (choose it in the rule editor). A password typed here is hashed in the proxy (argon2id) before it is written to the config file; it is never shown again. A browser that signed in is remembered for 5 minutes, so a new password applies within that time. Each change is saved like any other edit: checked first, the previous file kept as a backup, applied at once.

The console itself is not in this file: it is set at start-up, and nothing saved here can change it. Saving validates first, refuses if the file was changed by anyone else since you opened it, keeps the previous file as a backup (last 10) and applies at once: listeners open, move and close to match, rules apply to new connections.
