Setting up Basic Apache Authentication through .htpasswrd... Not working?

So I am trying to run just a basic demonstration website using apache. I'm very new to the whole schema of how it works so I'm just testing basic authentication using both .htaccess and .htpasswrd to see if it will actually prompt. So far it has not. My current directory for my site on my pc (Centos 7) is /var/www/html/index.html is where my site is. and my conf files are located in /etc/httpd/(sites-available)/(sites-enabled) to where both files have this configuration :
#Basic Appache Config file for Demo site
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride ALL
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I figured this using .htaccess would yield the result I wanted.. and have also tried to do this method:
<Directory "/var/www/your_domain">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Content"
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Neither of these has prompted my website for authentication whenever I go on firefox/chrome and go to local host. I have reset appache (httpd), multiple times, as well as disabled and re-enabled it to see if it was just that but also no luck. Any other recommendations I could try here? Or is it an error of syntax/httpd? Thanks to anyone with advice!

Apache: Authentification before proxing

I got a VM with a aplication running on it. It doenst support password protection. I connect to it like sub.domain.com:6000 (redirecting port 6000 to 80 of VM)
So i like to use apache as a Proxy with authentication.
My VirtualHost config:
<VirtualHost *:*>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
<Directory "/var/www">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Content"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Directory>
ProxyPass "/" "http://127.0.0.1:5000/"
ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://127.0.0.1:5000/"
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
It redirects me, but there is no password protection.
What's wrong?
The <Directory> directive is used to enclose a group of directives that will apply only to the named directory, sub-directories of that directory, and the files within the respective directories. Proxied server is none of that, so you have to use <Location> directive which limits the scope of the enclosed directives by URL:
<Location />
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Content"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Location>

Password protect a directory using basic authentication

I'm trying to make a directory for my website password protected and I so far I've followed apache instructions to do that: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/auth.html
and
http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PasswordBasicAuth
I then created a password file using htpasswd, and then I edited my httpd.conf with
<Directory /var/www/html/project/app.project.com/Admin/>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Area"
# (Following line optional)
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile "/var/www/html/admin/.password"
Require valid-user
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
But when I go to the website that supposed to ask me for the password it doesn't!
I'm just trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks!
The problem that I didn't think was related to this is that I was trying to access that protected directory using one of my vhosts in the configuration file so I just had to put this Directory directive inside of the correspondig vhost that was getting accessed, this is how I got my configuration at the end:
# Please note as well that I'm forcing connections from http to https:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName app.project.com
ServerAlias project.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/project/app.project.com
Redirect permanent / https://app.project.com
ErrorLog /var/www/html/project/app.project.com/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/html/project/app.project.com/requests.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName app.project.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/project/app.project.com
SSLEngine On

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/ssl/project.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/ssl/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt
#Adding the Directory directive to request auth access with password to the Admin directory
<Directory /var/www/html/project/app.project.com/Admin/>

# (Following line optional)

AuthUserFile "/var/www/html/admin/.password"
Require valid-user
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Allow Amazon CDN to bypass HTTP Basic Authentication

I am trying to allow Amazon CDN to access the resources on my password-protected staging site (HTTP Basic Authentication).
This is the code I have in the httpd.conf file for it:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName staging.domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory "/var/www/html/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
AuthName "Development Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /path/to/password.htpasswd
Require valid-user
SetEnvIf User-Agent "^Amazon.*" cdn
Order allow,deny
Allow from env=cdn
</Directory>
</Virtualhost>
I'm using SetEnvIf to assign a variable if the user agent is Amazon and then just allowing it, but this is not working. Can somebody please help me out with this one?
the problem is that a valid user is required to get to the content, indifferent of the user agent used.
Give this article in the Apache Manual a read, specifically take a look at the RequireAny bit. That allows you to setup the rules with the complexity you require. Your config code would look something like this.
SetEnvIf User-Agent "^Amazon.*" cdn
<RequireAny>
Require valid-user
Require cdn
</RequireAny>
This only works on Apache 2.4 upwards. On 2.2 you can look at this article in the Apache Wiki and specially to the Satisfy Any directive. Hope this helps.
If you have Apache 2 and possibly the requirement to access the resources with HTTP Auth, this has worked for me:
<Directory /var/www/yourwebdirectory>
SetEnvIf User-Agent "^Amazon.*" cdn
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd.forthissite
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Files"
Require valid-user
Order allow,deny
Allow from env=cdn
Satisfy Any
</Directory>

How to allow writing to files via Apache and WebDAV

I am having trouble understanding how I can get to edit files on a WebDAV setup. I have set up the Auth correctly, as verified by loads of online tutorials, yet there are some files like .htaccess which I can't edit.
The contents of the VirtualHost setup are
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin xxx
ServerName xxx
DocumentRoot /data/www/vhosts/xxx
<Directory /data/www/vhosts/xxx>
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
<Location />
DAV On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "WebDAV Access"
AuthUserFile /data/www/.htpasswd-webdav
Require valid-user
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
I've generated the correct username in the file too, and I can log in successfully and see all the files. Like I say, the problem is that certain files are unreadable and unwritable, the main culprits being .htaccess and .gitignore.
I have set the permissions on all files to 664 and all folders to 775 and a user:group of xxx:www-data. The reason being that this allows PHP to read/write the files ok, and our remote login user xxx to do the same without permissions issues.
Is there something specific I need to do to allow reading writing to these hidden dot files? I'm completely stumped, as most tutorials I've read are telling me that if I don't set the rights on dot files to root:root then they will be writable. I am using a Mac to connect to the WebDAV service, which runs on Ubuntu, if this makes any difference
Just for clarity, all of the xxx in this question is to hide info.
So it seems that I can allow access to specific files using the below
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
I forgot that .htaccess files are blocked over HTTP by default.
EDIT:
The final working setup, to make all files writeable in the webdav environment, with Digest secure authentication is:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin xxx
ServerName www.domain.name
DocumentRoot xxx
<Directory xxx>
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
<FilesMatch "\.(htaccess|php)$">
Order allow,deny
allow from all
ForceType text/plain
</FilesMatch>
<Location />
DAV On
AuthType Digest
AuthName "Webdav Access"
AuthDigestDomain / http://www.domain.name/
AuthDigestProvider file
AuthUserFile /data/www/digest.users
Require valid-user
php_value engine off
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
I hope this helps someone else. It took days to find all this info out on the web.
Also check the permissions of /data/www/ itself. It should be writable for the apache user.
