Re: [cobalt-developers] .htaccess files and authentication

Don't know if it's your problem or not, but if you intend to have a space in the Authname, it needs to be enclosed in quotes such as: 

Authname "Web Site"

Just a thought.

At 07:07 PM 5/1/00 +0200, you wrote:

Try that one

AuthUserFile /home/sites/site1/web/.mypassfile
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
Authname Web Site
Authtype Basic
<Limit GET POST>
 require valid-user
</Limit>

To make your Passwordfile:
Telnet your raq, give root
cd AuthUserFile /home/sites/site1/web/
htpasswd -c .mypassfile <username>
Use the line above to add users to the pass file
to remove a user open the passfile (vi, joe...) an delte the line from the user 
you want to remove
