Protect admin

[lapo4ka18]

Hi,

How can I protect my admin folder?

 

Thanks :)

create an .htaccess file and drop it in the directory..

 

Then update the apache.conf to reflect the same directives you created in your .htaccess file.

 

Suggest the following.

 

Created a text file in the admin directory called .htaccess

 

In the textfile, add the following:

 

AuthType Basic

AuthName "Password Required"

AuthUserFile /path/to/your/.htaccess

 

In your httpd.conf add:

 

<Directory /path/to/your/osc/admin>

AuthType Basic

AuthName "Password Required"

AuthUserFile /path/to/your/.htaccess

</Directory>

 

Now at shell type in htpasswd and follow the prompts.
