Scott thank you so much taking the time to reply. The thread is a little confusing since the first three posts are me talking to myself. The second settings.json actually works. The problem I was having in the beginning was I was accessing the server from localhost which is by default given all permissions so authorization didn't seem to be working.
I have put the tiddlyserver on a vps and am running it in docker and authorization of both directories and tiddlywikis seems to be working fine. My next step is to use nginx to handle https. I can post what I have that works once I get everything working. One thing to note is in the authAccounts permissions section there is a hash for transfer: true that is not mentioned in the docs. Also, I'm not sure but it may be required that a user group is defined. It seems from the docs that the user group - which is defined as main user in my settings file and 'designgroup' in arlen's example file - is the key and the username:password,salt is the value. I'm not completely up on the lingo as you might be able to tell so I apologize if I'm using technical terms incorrectly . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
