I want to setup digest password authentication as a light deterrent
around a development site (i.e. nothing sensitive, just not ready for
public consumption).
I added the following to httpd.conf:
<Directory "/var/www/html/dev">
AuthType Digest
AuthName "Development Area - Authorised Access Only!"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2/passwd/digest
Require user username
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from {ipaddress}
---> Satisfy any
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin administrator@xxxxxxxxxxxx
ServerName dev.domain.co.uk
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/dev
</VirtualHost>
keep it simple and put your directory container inside the virtualhost block
1. I don't know what the significance of realm is, nor have I been able to find out.
its the name fo your realm that the username will belong to
2. Attempts to connect to this site get the username and password box,
as earlier, insert the satisfy option
but all produce an Error 500 page, regardless of whether the correct credentials are entered or not. No files exist within /var/www/html/dev because I simply wished to test authentication.
Check you have the authconfig option? in your directory container add inAllowOverride AuthConfig ... its possible your global config parameters are denying this. Also whislt your testing do something like
echo "it works" > /var/www/html/dev/index.htmlits not your problem but will help verify you can read the dir once you do login.
