Is there some simple code that I can add to an .htaccess file or my virtual host file to enforce http basic auth?
What about this ?
AuthUserFile /my/derectory/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
AuthName "Secured Access"
AuthType Basic
the interesting part for you is Require valid-user
But if you can, please provide more informations about why you have you tried to do ^^

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
I have set up a site that is currently work in progress. I'm using an external SMS gateway that needs access to a script on my server. However, I have set up a basic username and password authentication for regular users, but the SMS gateway can't get through that.
How can I allow a single IP to pass through the authentication without authenticating itself, and deny all other users that aren't authenticated?
Here's my .htaccess file:
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /www/.site_htpasswd
AuthName "Protected Area"
require user admin
Just found out, with help from JoseK:
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /www/.site_htpasswd
AuthName "Protected Area"
require valid-user
Allow from 1.2.3.4
Satisfy Any
UPDATE: As of Apache 2.4, Order, Allow, Deny, and Satisfy directives should not be used anymore. So the new syntax is:
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /www/.site_htpasswd
AuthName "Protected Area"
<RequireAny>
Require ip 1.2.3.4
Require valid-user
</RequireAny>
Try changing first 2 lines to
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 1.2.3.x
Replace your desired IP in the Allow from
I have managed to get authentication at least partly set up but am mystified as to why security isn't working...
In my httpd.conf file for ssl I have....
<Directory /usr/local/apache2.2/cgi-bin/oia>
SSLRequireSSL
Satisfy All
AuthType basic
AuthName "Protected Intranet Area"
AuthUserFile conf/.passwd
AuthGroupFile conf/groups
Require valid-user
</Directory>
I do have the user password in the setup and when accessing the page via https://....../cgi-bin/oia, it does correctly prompt me for the user name and password. Problem is if I use the same URL with http:// there's no prompting for a user name or password.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

You could set up a mod_rewrite rule to always forward the http://x.y.com to https://x.y.com (which is probably what you want to do anyway)
I'm trying to work out how to check if a user is a member of Group A and Group B with basic authorisation in Apache. Currently I have:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Log Authors"
AuthUserFile /iweb/s3078033/apache2-secure/auth/user.file
AuthGroupFile /iweb/s3078033/apache2-secure/auth/group.file
Require group admin logger
which only checks if the user is a member of admin OR logger. I've tried looking all through the Apache documentation, but am not having much luck.
Any help would be great.
This should work <RequireAll>
Compatibility: Available in Apache 2.3 and later
Requires mod_authz_core
PS: I didn't try as I've only Apache 2.2.
You've likely already tried but would placing the Require directive on two lines help?
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Log Authors"
AuthUserFile /iweb/s3078033/apache2-secure/auth/user.file
AuthGroupFile /iweb/s3078033/apache2-secure/auth/group.file
Require group admin
Require group logger
