Examples are found in site.authent. The first Config file, .../conf/httpd1.conf, looks like this:
User webuser Group webgroup ServerName www.butterthlies.com NameVirtualHost 192.168.123.2 <VirtualHost www.butterthlies.com> ServerAdmin sales@butterthlies.com DocumentRoot /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/htdocs/customers ServerName www.butterthlies.com ErrorLog /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/logs/error_log TransferLog /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/logs/customers/access_log ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/www/APACHE3/cgi-bin </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost sales.butterthlies.com> ServerAdmin sales_mgr@butterthlies.com DocumentRoot /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/htdocs/salesmen ServerName sales.butterthlies.com ErrorLog /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/logs/error_log TransferLog /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/logs/salesmen/access_log ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/www/APACHE3/cgi-bin <Directory /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/htdocs/salesmen> AuthType Basic AuthName darkness AuthUserFile /usr/www/APACHE3/ok_users/sales AuthGroupFile /usr/www/APACHE3/ok_users/groups require valid-user </Directory> </VirtualHost>
What’s going on here? The key directive is
AuthType Basic in the <Directory
...salesmen>
block. This
turns Authentication checking on.
