Re: [cobalt-users] password protecting a directory

[Apostolos Skiafas <skiafapos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Let's suppose we want to protect the directory "example". Create an .htaccess file
in the /web/example directory with the following data:

AuthName LimitedAccess
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/sites/siteXX/web/example/.htpasswd
require valid-user

Then create an empty file called ".htpasswd" in the same directory. Give the command ">.htpasswd".
Finally, in order to add the user e.g chris, give the command:
htpasswd .htpasswd chris

enter the password you want.
