Apache htpasswd for multiple websites/dirs? - apache

Question

I'm not 100% familiar how htpasswd works, but i'm wondering if it is possible.
I have one server with one IP and multiple domains there. I need to password protect all of those domains but if possible only at one place. I don't want to go around and make htpasswd for each website.
Assuming that i have all websites places under /var/www/{vhost dirs}
Is it possible at all and how and how?

Answer 1

Multiple domain on single IP is possible from virtual host configuration in apache.
E.g I am running few domains on single machine :
www.internationalworkersday.com
www.internationallabourday.com
www.internationlaborday.com
www.internationalworkersday.org
www.apnok.com
#Here is virtual host configuration in httpd.conf
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
