[users@httpd] Apache Authentication

["Hu, Meng P (Meng Pei)" <me...@lucent.com>]

Hi,

How do I configure Apache only authenticating one certain directory, and by pass the others ?

The following are part of my httpsd.conf :

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Web Server"
AuthUserFile /etc/security/local_passwd
Require valid-user

thanks,
mengpei

 To restrict a directory to any user listed in the users file just created, 
you should create a .htaccess file containing:

AuthName "restricted stuff"
  AuthType Basic
  AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/httpd/users

  require valid-user

 To allow a directory to be restricted within a .htaccess file, you first need 
to ensure that the access.conf file allows user authentication to be set up 
in a .htaccess file. This is controlled by the AuthConfig override. The 
access.conf file should include AllowOverride AuthConfig to allow the 
authentication directives to be used in a .htaccess file.
