TiddlyServer: Unable to set authAccounts

Could you provide an example of authAccounts use ? I’ve been trying to make it work and nothing seems to pass validation. The closest thing I guess shoud work (if I understand documentation correctly) is :

{
	"tree": "./webroot",

	"authAccounts": {
		"permissions": {
			"putsaver": true,
			"writeErrors": true,
			"upload": true,
			"mkdir": true,
			"websockets": true,
			"registerNotice": true
		},
		"clientKeys": {"user": {"hash", "salt"}},
	},
	
	"bindInfo": {
		"bindAddress": ["127.0.0.1"],
	},
	"putsaver": {
		"backupFolder": "../backups"
	},
	"$schema": "./settings-2-1.schema.json"
}

Instead it throws an invalid character error between hash and salt.

Many thanks Arlen22!

It’s working perfectly! Below is my final settings.json in case it helps SleepyGinger or anyone else. This configuration has 3 tiddlywikis, that are only accessible to user jav of group av:

{
       "tree": { 
         "RememberAll": {
           "$element": "folder",
           "path": "~/tiddly/RememberAll/",
           "$options": [
             {"$element": "auth", "authList": ["av"] } ]
         },

         "Biblioteca": {
           "$element": "folder",
           "path": "~/tiddly/library",
           "$options": [
             {"$element": "auth", "authList": ["av"] } ]
         },

         "Cardo": {
           "$element": "folder",
           "path": "~/tiddly/Cardo/",
           "$options": [
             {"$element": "auth", "authList": ["av"] } ]
         },
        },
        "bindInfo": {
                "port": 8080,
		"bindAddress": ["127.0.0.1"]
	},
	"putsaver": {
		"backupFolder": "../backups", 
                "gzipBackups": true
	},
        "authAccounts": {
            "av": {
                "clientKeys": {
                  "jav": { "publicKey": "«key copied from failed login»", "cookieSalt": "«my salt»" }
                }, 
                "permissions": {
                  "mkdir": true,
                  "putsaver": true,
                  "registerNotice": true,
                  "upload": true,
                  "websockets": true,
                  "writeErrors": true,
                  "loginlink": true
                }
            }
        },
	"$schema": "./settings-2-1.schema.json",
        "authCookieAge": 864000
}

Replace your folder path string, with this object:

{ 
  "$element": "folder", 
  "path": "your folder path string", 
  "$options": [
    {"$element": "auth", "authList": ["av"] }
  ]
},

The authList array contains the authAccounts keys that are allowed to access this folder.

Here’s a short video I made that demonstrates the login process. Let me know here if you have any further questions. https://youtu.be/UfAiyubP8nY

@ohare93 , also, it’s better to open a new issue for a new or only partially related problem. It helps to keep things simpler and I still get notified the same.

Yes, you can make a group the top level, and then apply everything to that.

  "tree": {
	"$element": "group",
	"$children":  {
	  "Personal": "tw/Personal",
	  "WikiFiles": "/home/pi/SyncThing/WikiFiles"
	},
	"$options": [{"$element": "auth", "authList": ["jmo"] } ]
  },
