Htaccess and Htpassword overview
When choosing encryption mode, "Unix" means "all platforms but Windows, Netware and TPF" and "Windows" means "Windows, Netware and TPF". You may wonder if it is secure to enter your username and your password in this form. I do not log entries, and even if I did, I wouldn't know where you use these identifiers. You can also check the source.
.htaccess files can be used to restrict access to web pages on an Apache web server. A simple access control mode provided by Apache is called basic authentication. Usernames and passwords are stored in a file called .htpasswd; passwords are encrypted. This tool generates a line that can be directly added into the .htpasswd for a given login and password. For more info, please refer to the Apache documentation on authentication, authorization and access control and especially mod_auth_basic.
Using .htpasswd file
- Create a .htaccess file in the directory you wish to serve password protected pages from.This file should have the following contents:
- AuthType Basic
- AuthName "My secret pages"
- AuthUserFile /path/to/directory/.htpassword
- require valid-user
- order deny,allow
- allow from all
- Test the password protection. The directory should now be set up for password-protected web access. You should test it out and verify that the contents are password protected, and run the command:
"AuthName" can be any string that you wish to appear on the password dialogue box that people will see when they are asked for a password. "AuthUserFile" must be the full path to the .htpassword file.
The above .htaccess file will require password authentication before allowing access to web pages, but places no restrictions on which hosts people may access the pages from if they know a password. See the additional .htaccess examples below for some ways to place additional restrictions on accessfs la /path/to/directory
to verify that only the web servers and authorized usernames are on the AFS ACL of this directory. You should now be ready to populate the directory with the web pages you wish to serve.
