Re: Using UserID and Pawword with HTTP server (V5R1 original)

["Rob Dixon" <robertsdixon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Matt

I am using the original HTTP server on this V5R1 box because I have read
several well known published experts say that this is best on V5R1 and
Apache should be left for V5R2 or for V5R3 when there is no choice.  I do
use it on a V5R3 box but, since I rarely need to change the configuration, I
am even less skilled on that than on the Original server.

I tried putting in a Protect statement but without success.  I did restart
the server.

I already had a protection directive - please could you tell me what the
protec tstatement should say and where it should go?

Many thanks

Rob Dixon
