Alternatly, you could do what my WRT54g does and use HTTP authentication, but simply ignore the username field. Or have a blank username? Either way, I don't know your situation, but that may be the simplist way to go... On 6/15/06, reader@xxxxxxxxxxx <reader@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Having looked at apache docu and literally dozens of other help pages about this, I'm not getting how to password protect a directory but when a browser hits the index.html only a password is required.... not a username. What doesn't appear to be explained is how to get around the incoming browser user having to know a username and it is a real username on server. There is some discussion of setting your own usernames but still it would seem to require an incoming browser to supply both a username and a password. So, is it something that can be done on a remote account where I don't own root? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
