- Label plugin (if using Deluge)

Authentication

Once you have installed Lidarr with our Control Panel, you will see this screen, this is the main dashboard of Lidarr and quite obviously isn't populated. Lets give it some stuff!

First things first, Authentication. This is important because you wouldn't want your crush knowing you listen to the latest Ariana Grande album. To do this, simply click settings, then go to general, and change the dropdown that says Authentication to Forms (Login Page). Then, set your login in the username and password fields. It is recommended that you do not reuse passwords for any of our services.

Once changed, it will prompt you to restart the UI, click Yes.

Configure a Download Client

To add a Download Client, go to Settings > Download Clients

Click the plus icon at the top, and pick your Download client, in this case, we will be choosing Deluge.

Hit Deluge, and it will show a screen like this.

Yellow, is personal, you can change that to whatever you like
Dark Blue doesn't need to be changed
Light Blue are things you can find in your Show Info button in the CP. (Password is the password you set when you installed Deluge).

Once you have populated all the fields, hit Test. If it gives you a tick, then press Save. If it has a red cross, go back and check your answers, it is possible something is wrong. For example, make sure you use the WebUI port and not the Daemon port (for Deluge).
