Password Protect

Create new .htaccess file, and use the following example below.

AuthUserFile /var/www/html/private/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "My Private Directory"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

AuthUserFile: The location of the .htpasswd file. AuthGroupFile: Set to null. AuthName: Title of login. AuthType: Auth Type basic

To create the .htpasswd file, cd to the directory you pointed to above, and use the htpasswd command.

htpasswd -c .htpasswd username

To add another user type,

htpasswd .htpasswd foo

To delete a user, just vi to the file and delete the line.
