.htaccess passwordprotection in apache

Submitted by nasso on Tue, 08/17/2010 - 22:21

Add to vhost:

AllowOverride AuthConfig

Create password:

# htpasswd -c /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords nasso

Add to vhost or .htaccess.

AuthType Basic

AuthName "Restricted Files"

# (Following line optional)

AuthBasicProvider file

AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords

Require user username

Add this after the previous lines to make everything awsome:

Order allow,deny

Allow from 192.168.0.0/24

Satisfy any

Satisfy any makes it so that only one of the conditions have to match, either logging in as a user, or coming from the internal network. Now you can login if you are connecting from the internet and if you are connecting from your local LAN, you dont have to supply login credentials. Sweet!
