Figure 7-6
Once the link has been clicked, you will either receive a success message or a failure message (Figure 7-7 below). Usually a failure is not a problem, as your account can be setup to accept the changes that we are about to make. The configuration change that this first step provides is the ability to create an “.htaccess” file in any directory that you wish and have the Web server (Apache) understand that this “.htaccess” file is the authority for password protection.
Figure 7-7
If the message is failure but it states that “.htaccess files are already allowed on your server”, then you can proceed to Step 2. If not, contact AIT Customer Service for a review of your Apache configurations.
In step 2, input the following required fields (Figure 7-8 below):
Path – This should be the full path (not URL) to the directory that requires password protection. Reviewing the full path in an FTP program or via Telnet is advised here. (ex. /www/htdocs/protected)
User Name – This is the first username you will give access to this password protected area. You can add other usernames later; however, there is a requirement that one user must have access when creating a password protected directory. (ex. testuser)
Description Heading – This section is just a simple phrase that will be included in the username/password field when someone is prompted to input a username and password. In this case, we used “PPD Test”.
