Comment(by Ghent):
Replying to [ticket:1089 martinlindhe]:
> However in the web ui i only get a "password" prompt (what is the
username? - where is the username?)
The default webui password is 'deluge', which I believe is documented
somewhere on the site.
> I only found it possible to configure a password using the gtk ui, yet
still the daemon requires a username aswell for RPC (i was messing with
flexget deluge module)
Configure a password for what using the gtkui? In the preferences area of
the webui you can configure / change the password for the webui access.
The daemon does not use the same password information as the webui. It is
separate and contained in the ~/.config/deluge/auth file by default. The
documentation on the site is pretty accurate on how to use this, except in
1.2 you need to append ":10" to each line you add (as you see for the
default entry). This is for future features not yet implemented. As for
running flexget, you shouldn't need to do any authentication, as it will
natively try to use deluge's localhost authentication which should work.
However, see Flexget's wiki page on the Deluge plugin if you do need to
use authentication as well as Deluge's wiki page on setting up remote
authentication for the daemon / clients.
> I am not sure if this is a bug (entering a username is missing?) or if
the username concept has been removed in recent versions of deluge, then
the documentation is outdated?
>
> Personally i would like to keep the ability to configure a username &
password pair for access.
Just to state again for clarity: the webui uses a separate password
database internal to itself and only uses a password (no username). The
daemon uses a username / password pair which is configurable with
information from Deluge's wiki (with minor modifications)
