question about ".htaccess" file

[tomliuwhite]

If you build a .htaccess file for the admin folder, then would this require 2 logins in order to get to admin?

you mean you need to enter your login 2x? yes that is common if you change the folder with the first click or go to https:// (which you should!!!)

I wonder if it is possiblbe that use double/multi username/password to protect admin side. What do you mean: change the folder with the first click?

if you use http://www.yoursite.com/admin it's not the same as http://yoursite.com/admin, and the pw will be checked once more.

 

for the kind of double protection, you'd need to double bag admin, have it inside another password protected folder (different password)

 

alternatively, you can install a database password management and combine that with the htaccess one, I prefer that method.

a. For the first choice, it seems easier. But what do you mean: you'd need to double bag admin, have it inside another password protected folder (different password). I use password to protect admin side through cpanel. Could i do the double protection there?

b. For the second choice, can you suggest one kind of password management system? And could you show me a way how to combine this password mangement system with the htaccess file?

tom, for the password management, select a contribution ...there are several

 

double bagging admin:

say your catalog is moved in root, and you left admin in the catalog folder

 

folder structure:

 

catalog (only used by admin, not shop), password protected by password 1

admin, password protected by password 2

 

if you type in the URL for the folder

 

..../catalog it will ask for the first pasword, if you add admin, it will ask for the second also

I got it. I will search for such contribution. For "double bagging admin", i think i will not use it because it seems not nice. Anyway, thanks for your help.

exactly, that's why I normally use database + htaccess
