RE: [cobalt-users] Password Protected Directory

[aljuhani <aljuhani@xxxxxxxxx>]

Provided that you have an .htaccess in the directory you want protect, You 
will need to issue this command at shell prompt:

htpasswd -c /home/sites/site1/web/directory/.htpasswd

You will be asked for a username and password.

Your directory should be now passwd protected.
