Editing NetHere (section)

==== Password protection ====


Http (simple) password protection is governed by the Apache configuration for the domain

1) Create userdb, users file in the domain root directory (/www/www.domain.tld):
   # mkdir userdb
   # cd userdb
   # htpasswd -bc users username password

2) Check out Apache config for www.domain.tld in /nethere/conf/apache/conf/<vhosts,nvhosts>
   # co -l www.domain.tld(.common)  

3) Edit Apache configuration, add the following lines within the VirtualHost container  
--cut--
<Directory "/www/www.domain.tld/dir_to_be_protected">
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "www.domain.tld/dir_to_be_protected authentication"
    AuthUserFile /www/www.domain.tld/userdb/users 
    <Limit GET POST>
      require valid-user
    </Limit>
  </Directory>
--cut--

4) Check in Apache config
   # ci -u www.domain.tld(.common) < /dev/null  

5) Restart Apache
   # apachectl configtest
   # apachectl restart
