[users@httpd] Newbie (ish) question about access

[Michael Thompson <mi...@thompsonmike.co.uk>]

Hi Users,



  Is there any way to determine where a user is connecting from? What
  I want to do is open my box to the world, but if a user is not
  connecting from a local IP (192.168.1.*) to ask for a username/password.

  Any ideas on how to do this?

You can use a .htaccess like the following:


AuthType Basic
AuthName Password
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/htdocs/.passwd
satisfy any
deny from all
allow from 192.168.1.0/24
require valid-user
