/etc/httpd/conf/passwd/passwords This should do that you need :) K Anand said the following:
Hi all, I have a very basic question regarding authentication on apache...I have in my httpd.conf a section like below : <Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin"> AuthType Basic AuthName "By Invitaion Only" AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/passwd/passwords Require valid-user AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> So whenever a browser first sends a cgi-bin request, authentication is done by userid and password...Whenever subsequent requests come for cgi-bin, authentication is not required provided the browser has not been closed. How is this done ? I know that this is not a problem but I would like to know just for my information.
