Re: Using UserID and Pawword with HTTP server(V5R1original)

[John Jones <chianime@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry to jump in to this late, but on my production system (V5R3, Apache),
we have the following:

AuthName SOME_NAME
AuthType Basic
PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
UserID %%SERVER%%
Require valid-user
# ACLOverride  On

The "Require valid-user" isn't in the sample below.

The above is actually in a separate file called AUTH_USERS.inc which is
included in the main config via a "Include conf/AUTH_USERS.inc" line.  That
line can be anywhere.

You can also protect just specific directories:
<Directory /some_dir>
   Allow From all
   Require valid-user
   PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName some_system_name
</Directory>
