Re: [cobalt-security] Password protected websites

[ChaosIndustries <chaosindustries@xxxxxx>]

Just place in the directory wich you'll protect a file with name .htaccess.

After uploading (or writing that file) it will not be visible "normaly"
On shellaccess user ls -A to see files beginning with a dot.

To allow specific users:
----------------------------
order allow,deny
allow from all
require user <username> [<username>]
Authname CobaltRaQ
Authtype Basic
----------------------------

To allow specific usergroups
----------------------------
order allow,deny
allow from all
require group <groupname> [<groupname>]
Authname CobaltRaQ
Authtype Basic
----------------------------
