Re: Authenticating with subfolders

Hi Miguel,

when you get authenticated with test1 user, may be your server returns an html page that have more resources inside (i mean css, js, img), and very likely, some of them are into the root Realm. This could explain why you get prompted for the root password too.

Best,
Vincenzo

Hi Bruno,

may be you're right, I read long time ago, but actually don't remember exactly the RFC.
So now I have just implemented such configuration with Apache 2.2.

Into the document root I have created a .htaccess with this configuration:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Root Restricted Files"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /var/www/.htpasswd
require valid-user

After I created a directory /var/www/test1 where I have created a new .htaccess file with this configuration:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Test1 Restricted Files"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /var/www/test1/.htpasswd
require valid-user

Into /var/www/.htpasswd  there is:

# htpasswd -bn root password

root:UYMXijHR5MW42

Into  /var/www/test1/.htpasswd there is:

# htpasswd -bn test1 password1

test1:P5ENtSmla14FQ

Well, it is working pretty well, please try it.
I have also tried to add a third directory with different credential, every thinks works like a charm :)

Well, I have Apache 2.2.15. What you have showed in your configs is what I have already tried myself and It doesn't work for me.

When I get authenticated with test1 user, I get another prompt for entering the root password as well. If I cancel, I get some sort of degraded version of the index in the root folder which doesn't make sense to me

Regards,

Miguel
