//    [shell]  htdigest -c auth.txt root guest
//          typing <empty> password for guest account
//    [shell]  htdigest auth.txt root admin
//          typing 'admin' as password for admin account
//  When macro started and opening in browser with url
//      http://localhost:8080
//  User name and password will be requested. One should
//  either specify guest account without password or
//  admin account with password 'admin'
//
//  User with guest account only can monitor histograms
//  User with admin account see commands, which can be executed
