Hi Raymond,

we do the same to protect some Intranet areas. It's very easy:

* in the folder you want to protect put a file named .htaccess (or
equivalent, name is defined in srm.conf, nowadays also in httpd.conf, with
option
     AccessFileName .htaccess (or any other name).

.htaccess should look alike
     AuthUserFile /APACHE/PUB/security/.htpasswd
     AuthGroupFile /dev/null
     AuthName Access to HP3000 Apache Test Area
     AuthType Basic

     <Limit GET>
     require user as3223
     </Limit>
where in this case the user/password file sits in /APACHE/PUB/security/ and is named .htpasswd.

The user (here as3223) is NOT a MPE user - it's a user within Apache for this kind of authentication.

The file .htpasswd has been built by
/APACHE/PUB/apache_1.2.5_mpe/support/htpasswd. It may sit in another place
in your installation.
The Usage: htpasswd [-c] passwordfile username
The -c flag creates a new file.

It is possible to have a cgi to change the passwords as well (but this I didn't test so far).

Hope this will help,
best regards, Andreas Schmidt, CSC, Germany

Subject:  [HP3000-L] Apache .htaccess file


Hi

I need help in setting up Apache to use file authentication.

Does anyone have an example of the httpd.conf, access.conf , srm.conf and
.htaccess file settings.

We just wish to have a prompt for a password when we execute our page. We
are running a Cobol program on the Hp which works great.

Can any one help?

Thanks

Ray
