.htaccess

Hi again,

I have put the .htaccess and .htpasswd .htgroup
to the /opt/webdocs, but it doesn't pop up
the password window.

Can someone post the 3 files? and how to set
it up?

Thanks!

Hi,

Did you include this in your httpd.conf:

AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Your .htaccess should like something like this:

AuthUserFile /etc/htpasswds/.htpasswd
AuthName "This is a test"
AuthType Basic

require valid-user

NOTE: For security reasons, your .htaccess should NOT reside in the same directory as your .htpasswd.

Use the htpasswd command to create the password file .htpasswd.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

I missed that out.

.htgroup

The format of the group file is one line per group, with the line containing the group name, followed by a colon, followed by the users in the group. Users are separated by commas e.g.

all:steven, michael
admins:michael

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

If you want to use .htgroup as well, then your .htaccess should look something like this:

AuthUserFile /etc/htpasswds/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /etc/htpasswds/.htgroup
AuthName "This is a test"
AuthType Basic

require valid-user

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

On my webserver, I don't have that many users that would require authentication based on groups (i.e. identical users in different groups etc), thus I only rely on .htpasswd and .htaccess. Changes to note include the AuthUserFile specification in .htaccess and the modifications in httpd.conf. In addition, remember to check the ownership and permissions of .htaccess, .htpasswd and .htgroup. The nobody (or apache or httpd depending on which is used) UNIX user account must have read permissions to these files.

That works for me without any problems. I used a lot of .htpasswd authentication on the links in my website: https://www.beepz.com

Hope this helps. Regards.
