Better still would be using a git-based versioning system that generates a
commit with every save, exposing the ability to revert back to a previous
revision via a simple drop-down listing the sha1 of each of the previous
commits. There are a ton of additional advantages to moving towards a
git-based system (ease of deployment of configuration files to other nodes
via git push, etc.) but this particular capability would be reason enough.

Alvaro, your thoughts?

-1: Too many people will keep cherokee-admin up and running over a
non-secure HTTP connection listening on 0.0.0.0.   The last thing we need
to have happen is for someones Cherokee instance to be compromised and for
some script kiddie to be given full control over its configuration.

I do agree that making the login process less of a burden is a beneficial
feature.  Providing support for client-side PGP digital certificates* that
have been registered with a given Cherokee instance would be a MUCH more
secure and in many ways easier to manage solution.

I'm not sure what would be required to implement support for client side
PGP certs, but at the moment the randomly generated password solution works
well enough to consider this a lower priority feature, I would think, if it
requires anything more than what can be added with minimal effort (read:
over a typical lunch break) using existing OSS libraries.
