Username/Password access on Select Directories

1. Create a file inside the directory where you want to have access rights named ".htaccess" (Don't forget the period "." in front of the name htaccess)
   
   
2. Inside the .htaccess file place the following text.
   
        AuthUserFile /path/to/your/directory/.htpasswd
     AuthType Basic
     AuthName "Special Access"
     require valid-user

   "/path/to/your/directory/" must be changed to your home directory.
   
   
3. Create another file called ".htpasswd" and place your users inside this directory as given below
   
        user1:fekogoETvQ8WY
     user2:eVVssLmCtS5k.
     john:V5DeLh/sbdtFY
     mary:V5DeLh/sbdtFY
   
   Each line of the user file contains a username followed by a colon, followed by the encrypted password.

4. All files within this directory will now require a valid username and password to be entered. If incorrect username or password is entered the user will be displayed an error page. To define a special page for this error page put the following on your .htaccess file.


     ErrorDocument 401 /access_denied.html
