I would like to use a .htaccess and a .htpasswd file to protect access to a website.
The following code successfully brings up the auth dialog when visiting mysite.com. But when visiting mysite.com/index.html the auth dialog does not appear and the website can be accessed without protection.
.htaccess
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Protected"
Require valid-user
What do I need to change to ensure that mysite.com/index.html is protected as well?
I have tried adding:
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Satisfy any
Require valid-user
and also:
<Files "index.html">
Require valid-user
</Files>
Neither make any difference to the problem.
maybe you could try it with
AllowOverride AuthConfig
If I remember it right it is not activated on the default :)
you can get more information in the official apache doc
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/auth.html

My question is very similar to this one:
getting "authentication required" when requesting / instead of /index.php
However, in the question above, the goal is to allow access to only the root URL or index.php and to password protect access to all other files and subdirectories.
An excellent answer was given:
SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/$" allow=yes
SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/index.php$" allow=yes
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Required"
AuthUserFile /var/www/webinterface/.htpasswd
Options +FollowSymLinks
Order Deny,Allow
Satisfy any
Deny from All
Require valid-user
Allow from env=allow
My question is the reverse: I only want to password protect the root URL of the directory or the index.php file, and to allow free access to all other files in the directory. When I used <FilesMatch "index.php"> I succeeded in protecting the index file, but the root url allowed access.
I'm sure the answer is basically obvious to those of you who are more familiar with htaccess than I am. How do I password protect only index.php and the root url? Thank you.
Use it like this:
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "^/(index\.php)?$" PROTECT
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Required"
AuthUserFile /var/www/webinterface/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
Satisfy any
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
Deny from env=PROTECT
Regex pattern ^/(index\.php)?$ will match / or /index.php and it sets env variable PROTECT
Allow from All allows all the URIs
Deny from env=PROTECT denies env variable PROTECT
Not sure if this is what you really want, but what about the options -Indexes, used like this?
<Directory /www/somefolder>
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
I am trying to restrict access to directories in my root so that others cannot access the files in those dir directly in a browser. Problem I am running into is now the pages in the root for example the index.php is asking for a password and the .htaccess is in the root of the directories and not the root of the domain. This is preventing the index file from accessing include files from those directories.
What is a simple way to lock down those directories from browser access while still allowing the files in the root to access them and vistors being able to access the root pages without being asked for a password. I would like to to be as far as they know they site is viewable but, if someone starts prying around in the sub directories to steal code it will deny them but, allow the pages to access them.
I have tired this in each of the directories I have been wanting to restrict direct browser access to.
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Administrator"
AuthUserFile /home2/mesquiu0/.htpasswds./htpasswd
Require valid-user
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
All you need to do is add the following line with an extra empty line to disable indexing the directories:
Options -Indexes
See Documentation for more info: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#options
In your .htaccess file put the following line
Deny from all
And this if you like to put exceptions.
allow from all
Just allow the scripts that match php, aspx, etc.
apache 2.2
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Administrator"
AuthUserFile /home2/mesquiu0/.htpasswds./htpasswd
Require valid-user
#Forbid access to any files except from localhost, because of Order Deny,Allow, Allow gets applied later.
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
#Allow access to files matching index.php
<Files index.php>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Files>
In Apache 2.4 the rules has changed, and the correct syntax is to use Require all denied instead of Deny from all.
This is for apache 2.4
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Administrator"
AuthUserFile /home2/mesquiu0/.htpasswds./htpasswd
Require valid-user
Require host 127.0.0.1
#Allow access to files matching index.php
<Files index.php>
Require all granted
</Files>
I've got a problem with my .htaccess :
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Acces protege"
AuthUserFile "/home/sites/.htpasswd"
require valid-user
IMO, the file .htaccess is not read as I tried to write with syntax error.
And nothing happened while I access to the page.
I've changed the conf file of Apache : apache2.conf.
Instead of
AllowOverride None
I've put
Allow Override All
Then
service apache2 restart
Yet no authentification activated.
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Acces protege"
AuthUserFile "/home/sites/.htpasswd"
Require valid-user
Change the require keyword to Require
Ok so I want to protect a single webpage using .htaccess and .htpasswd
I have successfully implemented this to work on my index.php page but if I go any deeper it doesn't work.
I'm using codeigniter and here is the code from my .htaccess file
# password-protect single file
<Files "vAdmin.php">
AuthName "site"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/bg33qn/public_html/ci/application/views/.htpasswd
require valid-user
</Files>
I have both the .htaccess file and the .htpasswd file saved in:
/home/bg33qn/public_html/ci/application/views/
Using this to protect the index page at the following location works fine:
/home/bg33qn/public_html/ci/
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Do you want to password protect just one file?
<FilesMatch "vAdmin.php">
AuthName "Member Only"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/bg33qn/public_html/ci/application/views/.htpasswd
require valid-user
</FilesMatch>
Just a tip: I hope you don't use this tool as the only security process protecting that page. It seems that page has something to do with administrators.
Updated: Create this .htaccess file where vAdmin.php is stored. So in your case, /home/bg33qn/public_html/ci/application/views/.
I want to protect an admin folder in my PHP web site from other people.
I created two files .htaccess and .htpasswd, but when I enter to the index page on this folder it doesn't show me that dialog where I have to enter the username and the password, here are the content of the files :
The .htpasswd file :
mateo21:$1$MEqT//cb$hAVid.qmmSGFW/wDlIfQ81
ptipilou:$1$/lgP8dYa$sQNXcCP47KhP1sneRIZoO0
djfox:$1$lT7nqnsg$cVtoPfe0IgrjES7Ushmoy.
vincent:$1$h4oVHp3O$X7Ejpn.uuOhJRkT3qnw3i0
The .htaccess file :
AuthName "Page d'administration protégée"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/var/www/sec/.htpasswd"
Require valid-user
I'm running Linux ubuntu and apache.
You need to deny everything first. Try:
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
AuthName "Page d'administration protégée"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/var/www/sec/.htpasswd"
Require valid-user
If what #Jon Lin said doesn't work, then make sure you have
AllowOverride AuthConfig
in your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file
If you can't find your configuration file, then try searching for it in terminal...
locate "httpd.conf"
Or
find /etc/ -name "httpd.conf"
