Re: [cobalt-users] htpasswd authentication

["satan" <satan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

First of all, eliminate all stupid problem, call the folder something else,
"manage" as exemple.

In it throw a .htaccess that should contain someting  like that

# Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
require valid-user
Authname Members_Login
AuthPAM_Enabled off
Authtype Basic
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site#/web/members/.htpasswd
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

Put the htpasswd into the same folder. Make sure htaccess is enabled, I
think in access.conf, srm or httpd, you have a setting there that i cannot
remember exactly but you may have to change to allow the htaccess to work in
your client directory.
