I am new to Ubuntu. I am facing this issue while accessing the localhost/phpmyadmin
401 Unauthorized
Also, I cannot login using the username and password I set for phpmyadmin.
I have followed the tutorial from here - Digital Ocean Tutorial
Any suggestions are welcome
I resolved this issue by uninstalling the phpmyadmin and again installing the phpmyadmin.
You can resolve it by editing:nano /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf
And commenting the text:
# <IfModule mod_authn_file.c>
# AuthType Basic
# AuthName "phpMyAdmin Access"
# AuthUserFile /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd
# </IfModule>
# Require valid-user
you also need to make changes in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/.htaccess file
type vim /usr/share/phpmyadmin/.htaccess and edit file
and comment the lines
# AuthType Basic
# Authname "Restricted files"
# AuthUserFile /etc/phpmyadmin/.htpasswd
# Require valid-user
This will resolve the problem of asking password to access directory.

I am trying to set development variable for xampp under Windows in order to do this:
<IfDefine !development>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Say the secret word"
AuthUserFile /var/www/hostname/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</IfDefine>
on Linux you do it like this
export APACHE_ARGUMENTS=-Ddevelopment
How do I do this on Windows? I've tried to do
set APACHE_ARGUMENTS=-Ddevelopment
but it didn't work.
Any ideas?
Edit: tried to add startup parameters to apache service config, but didn't help either.
This may be a duplicate of Apache .htaccess - applying basic authentication conditionally based on environment or hostname
I have solved this issue by using the 'Allow from ....' directive.
This way I can blanket enable based off an IP ADDRESS
Here is the contents of my .htaccess file
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Secure Area"
AuthUserFile "/path/to/file/.htpasswd"
Require valid-user
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Satisfy Any
I am running latest ubuntu with apache.
I have very simple html directory I want to protect using .htaccess.
I am trying to do it with:
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/dev/docs/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
On my .htpasswd file I have:
user:pass
I get internal server error with this. I've been digging hard but not sure why this is happening.
If I add a this:
<Directory "/var/www/dev/docs">
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/dev/docs/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Directory>
I can't login no matter what I do...
Thanks,
I have the same problem. But after a few trial and error, here's the fix.
You must use the full path to the .htpasswd file.
You must encapsulate the path with quotation marks "home/username/public_html/subfolder/protected/.htpasswd"
An example:
AuthUserFile "/home/username/public_html/subfolder/protected/.htpasswd"
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My restricted Area"
Require valid-user
Error #500 just means the web server isn't understanding something in your .htaccess file. There will be nothing in Apache's error log since the request doesn't even get parsed at this point.
Try putting quotes around the path to the .htpasswd file and note on some hosting companies like cough.. godaddy, 1&1 It may take several minutes for the changes in .htaccess to be picked up.
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthUserFile "/home/. . . . ./.htpasswd"
require valid-user
I have got same situation on Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS)
Path to htpasswd needs to be taken from $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
Apache has some bug (https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54735), you need to set password from console like this:
htpasswd -nb username newpassw > <path-to>/.htpasswd
btw in Apache 2.4.6 on CentOS 7 problem still exists
When I upgraded my VPS from Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 password protected directories are now giving the error below even if the correct password is entered.
Unauthorized: This server could not verify that you are authorized
to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong
credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand
how to supply the credentials required.
Apache error.log says "No requires line available"
Files are as follows:-
/etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite
</VirtualHost>
<Directory /var/www/mysite>
Options -Indexes
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
/var/www/mysite/.htaccess
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Protected"
AuthUserFile /var/www/mysite/.htpasswd
require valid-user
/var/www/mysite/.htpasswd

Please will you help me to get authentication working again.
It appears apache 2.4 has added new values for the auth* modules. A grant is required now to return similar behavior. This is performed such as :
Require all granted
Some of this is outlined on the Apache HTTPd documentation site:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html
I suggest referencing that if you are having similar messages in your log entries.
For Ubuntu 14.04 just edit the .htaccess file as below. It works for me:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /var/www/mysite/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
I'm trying to configure my server to use the Apache Module mod_auth_digest directive only am having a tough time. Here's what I've got:
htdigest -c passwdfile registered_users#mydomain.net andy
'passwdfile' resides in
/var/www/
and in my httpd.conf file
<Location /var/www/mydomain/wp-admin/>
AuthType Digest
AuthName "private area"
AuthDigestDomain /var/www/mydomain/wp-admin/
AuthDigestProvider file
AuthUserFile /var/www/passwdfile
Require valid-user
</Location>
both mod_authn_file & mod_auth_digest are present on my server. Upon browsing to
http://mydomain.net/wp-admin I'm expecting to be prompted by Apache for a username and password only am not!
The location directive maps to the request URI not a server path.
Change
<Location /var/www/mydomain/wp-admin/>
To
<Location /wp-admin>
See docs here: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#location
I want to make a web directory protectde by htaccess and LDAP users in certain OU's can access it.
I've googled all day and I couldn't make it happen. I've using Apache 2.2 on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS. Here is my htaccess:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "LOGIN"
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://SERVER_IP/ou=users,dc=domain,dc=TLD,dc=ccTLD?uid?sub?(objectClass=*)"
AuthLDAPBindDN "cn=user,dc=domain,dc=TLD,dc=ccTLD"
AuthLDAPBindPassword passwd
#I've tried all of below:
#Require valid-user # This works just fine. But i don't want everyone can login.
#Require ldap-group ou=couldLogIn,ou=users,dc=domain,dc=TLD,dc=ccTLD # Tried this one and failed.
Require ldap-filter (ou=couldLogIn,ou=users,dc=domain,dc=TLD,dc=ccTLD) # tried this one and also failed.
Thank you very much.
I found the problem. You shouldn't use brackets around the ldap-filter attribute.
This:
Require ldap-filter (ou=couldLogIn,ou=users,dc=domain,dc=TLD,dc=ccTLD)
Should be like this:
Require ldap-filter ou=couldLogIn,ou=users,dc=domain,dc=TLD,dc=ccTLD
