[Koha] Fwd: Including Login to access the OPAC

[Anselm Olweny]

Dear Ricky,

I needed to make full text documents accessible through my Koha OPAC
so I created a new directory called docs at
/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/

When cataloguing I included the url to the full text which I have
stored in the docs directory above in the field 856$u. Specifically
the url looks like this
http://10.2.1.64/opac-tmpl/prog/docs/filename.pdf

I am able to download the full text from the opac. I have also
adjusted authnotrequired => 1 to authnotrequired => 0 in  the scripts
found at /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin

However, When I simply enter the url
"http://10.2.1.64/opac-tmpl/prog/docs/filename.pdf" in the browser
address bar I am able to access the full text without being required
to login.

I would also like to secure the full texts. Kindly assist by advising
what I need to do to secure the full texts.

Thanks

Anselm O

Thanks Ricky for the help.

I made the adjustments and now it works as I need it to.

Thanks again and stay well
