[NBLUG/talk] Question about Apache

[James Reed]

Hello,
 In apache 1.3.33 the following should work (works for me anyway :) ):
 Example:
 # There is an .htaccess file in the root directory with contents:
AuthType Basic
AuthName test
AuthUserFile /path/to/password/file
Require user valid-user
 httpd.conf:
 <Directory "/path/to/web/root">
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
 AllowOverride AuthConfig
 Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
 <Directory "/path/to/web/root/sponsors">
 satisfy any
</Directory>
 When I tested this I was prompted for a password when hitting the root 
webpage. Then I closed all the browser windows and opened the sponsors index 
page directly, no password prompt.
 Hope this helps.
