This can be achieved with the "Login user = ..." option.

You could try to use "top groups". This gives you "separate" groups of logbooks, so you could make a public tree
seen by everybody and private trees only seen by a few people. Please read the documentation for details.

You get a login page instead of the selection page if the "Password file = " statement is in the [global] section
and "Protect selection page = 1". You might have to delete all cookies in your browser if you move the password
file statement between the [global] and the logbook sections, because otherwise the old cookies might prevent you
from logging out.

If I use following config file:


[global]
port = 8080
password file = passwd
protect selection page = 1

[demo1]
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject

[demo2]
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject


then I don't get a blank page. An unavailable page you should only get whan you use top groups, and want to
access the root.
