[olug] website authentication with apache

[Jeremy Bettis]

Easy easy....  Put these lines into your .htaccess file:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Site Name"
AuthUserFile /somewhere/outside/the/docroot/mypasswords.txt
AuthGroupFile none
require valid-user
AuthPAM_Enabled off



Then run htpasswd:

htpasswd -c /somewhere/outside/the/docroot/mypasswords.txt username

To add additional usernames and passwords just leave off the -c.
