It comes after the Analytics without JavaScript plugin. This post describes what it will do, and it will be updated as it is built.</p> <p>Plenty of useful software ships with no login at all. An internal dashboard, a staging copy of a site, a metrics page, an admin tool somebody wrote in an afternoon. The usual fixes are a VPN, which is heavy, or a password bolted into each app, which is copied badly from app to app. An auth gate at the proxy puts one login in front of anything, and the app behind it never has to know.</p>
