Upon submission of the form available in Step 2, you may receive a success or error message. A somewhat common message that will appear after the submission of this step is the error displayed in Figure 7-9 below. If a directory has been configured for MS FrontPage, then the .htaccess file will require manual editing. For this, please consult (carefully) documentation on the Internet regarding .htaccess files and FrontPage configurations, or contact AIT’s Customer Service Department and we can assist with the editing of these files.

If the user does not receive an error, they most likely will receive the message in Figure 7-10, which shows the contents of the .htaccess file and a success message for the creation of the .htaccess file in the proper directory.

Step 3 of the process requires the addition of the username and password to a file back in the directory structure called an “htpasswd” file. This file contains the encrypted passwords for the users who have access to the password-protected directory. To add users to the htpasswd file, complete the form for Step 3 (Figure 7-11). Included in this form are the required fields, which are:
Path to htpasswd file – The default of /usr/local/etc/htpasswd is a good place to store your file as this is not web accessible.
Username – The username can be between 3 and 8 characters long.
Password – As in any web service, the password MUST be between 6 and 8 characters, and SHOULD contain letters and numbers. For security reasons, it should not be set to anything simple such as love, password, or 123456.
