Create .htaccess File
vi /var/www/sitename/.htaccess
.htaccess file contents
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 10.0.1
allow from 10.0.10
allow from 10.1.0
allow from 172.16.0
allow from 228.28.28
allow from 35.135.35
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Auctiva Protected Area"
AuthUserFile /var/www/Directory/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
- Obviously you would fix the path here before saving
Edit Permissions for .htaccess
chmod 644 .htaccess
Create .htpasswd File
htpasswd -bc /path/to/.htpasswd admin admin_password
htpasswd -b /path/to/.htpasswd username password
- For the First user you add the user and password with -bc for subsequent users just use -b
Usage:
htpasswd [-cmdpsD] passwordfile username
htpasswd -b[cmdpsD] passwordfile username password
htpasswd -n[mdps] username
htpasswd -nb[mdps] username password
-c Create a new file.
-n Don't update file; display results on stdout.
-m Force MD5 encryption of the password.
-d Force CRYPT encryption of the password (default).
-p Do not encrypt the password (plaintext).
-s Force SHA encryption of the password.
-b Use the password from the command line rather than prompting for it.
-D Delete the specified user.
Edit Permissions for .htpasswd
chmod 644 /path/to/.htpasswd
- This would have to match your .htaccess file.
