Authentication
Hi...
I´ve got to provide access to some customers, so I want to use Apache´s
Authentication.
I followed the instructions about the .htaccess and htpasswd files and I
changed the access.conf file, but the server doesn´t require the
authentication.

also an added reminder (to Owen's remarks),
any changes the conf files require a restart for apache
to make them in effect.

There are a few things you need to do to get authorisation running - did
you allow the .htaccess file to override the apache config? You do this
with: (in httpd.conf)
<Directory /dir/you/want/to/authorise>
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
but read the docs for this directive to understand what it does.
Rgds,
