RE: [cobalt-users] htaccess on raq 550

[BSmith@xxxxxxxxxxx]

.htaccess <<< Explained

#Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
require group site2
Authname WebStats
Authtype Basic
AuthAuthoritative off
AuthPAM_Enabled on


Line #1 - just a remark, means NOTHING
Line #2 & 3 - Sets the permission for the directory, basically,
	if your authenticated, your allowed in.
Line #4 - Requires user to be in group "site2".
Line #5 - Just the cool little name you see in the box
Line #6 - Tells it to use Basic Authentication
Line #7 - Tells it to authenticate from the User DB (where your users are)
Line #8 - I couldn't tell you to save my life.
Line #9 - YOU NEED PAM ON if you want to use your user database.


This works too ... this is allow authentication from a straight
text file

# Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
require valid-user
Authname "Go Away Dude!"
Authtype Basic
AuthUserFile /home/sites/somedomain.com/.htpasswd 

They all work on the RAQ 550.  I use both versions, on my RAQ 550.

Enjoy.
