Access to the RLM web browser interface can be controlled by including a password file named rlm.pw in the same folder where the rlm executable is located (normally, this is the Vectorworks Site Protection Server folder). When this file is present, user names and passwords are required for various tasks.
Password setup in the password file consists of the user name, followed by the password, and then the permitted privilege, separated by colons. If there is more than one permitted privilege, separate each by a comma.
username:password:remove, edit_options
Set up the password file with empty passwords to allow individual users to change them later in the web browser interface. For example:
lauren::shutdown, remove
