Apply authentication to etherpad lite

How can we deny access to simple IP addresses for access to email. Is there a way to prevent unauthorized access to broadcasts. Only users with a username and password should have access to the pads.

I am using etherpad lite in windows. Thank.

You must configure this in your etherpad settings.json. The original configuration is well documented.

Here is part of the configuration you should take care of.

  /* Users must have a session to access pads. This effectively allows only group pads to be accessed. */
  "requireSession" : true,

  /* Users may edit pads but not create new ones. Pad creation is only via the API. This applies both to group pads and regular pads. */
  "editOnly" : false,

  /* How long may clients use served javascript code (in seconds)? Without versioning this
     may cause problems during deployment. Set to 0 to disable caching */
  "maxAge" : 21600, // 60 * 60 * 6 = 6 hours

  /* This is the path to the Abiword executable. Setting it to null, disables abiword.
     Abiword is needed to advanced import/export features of pads*/  
  "abiword" : null,

  /* This setting is used if you require authentication of all users.
     Note: /admin always requires authentication. */
  "requireAuthentication": true,

  /* Require authorization by a module, or a user with is_admin set, see below. */
  "requireAuthorization": true,

  /* Users for basic authentication. is_admin = true gives access to /admin.
     If you do not uncomment this, /admin will not be available! */
  /*
  "users": {
    "admin": {
      "password": "changeme1",
      "is_admin": true
    },
    "user": {
      "password": "changeme1",
      "is_admin": false
    }
  },
  */
