Apache AllowOverride AuthConfig Directive
You can control access to directories on an Apache webserver by placing
.htaccess
files in those directories and creating
.htpasswd
files containing userids and passwords required
to access the directories. But Apache won't use those
.htaccess
and
.htpasswd
files unless you modify Apache's
httpd.conf
configuration file, which will likely be at
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
on a Linux system.
To permit usage of those files to control access to directories
on the webserver, edit httpd.conf
and replace
the AllowOverride None
in the <Directory />
section with AllowOverride AuthConfig
.
#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
You can use the .htaccess
and .htpasswd
method
without changing the AllowOverride None
line in the following
section of httpd.conf
.
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride None
