I've been testing usage of apache authentication, following this example.
I'm using Ubuntu/Apache2.
Inside of my 'site', /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/playcat, which is pointing to /home/playcat/public_html, I entered following:
<Directory "/home/playcat/public_html/backend">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Content"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /home/playcat/passwd/passwords
Require user playcat
</Directory>
Password for user playcat was created via
htpasswd -c /home/playcat/passwd/passwords playcat
Obviously, before that I created passwd folder :).
Now, when I open http://localhost/backend, I get promped for u/p combination. However, when I type it, I get 403 response.
Other than that, server is working a-ok. I have php and mysql installed, and everything works fine.
Did I miss smt?
Thx
p.s. I'm using correct user/pass combo :)
Try to change the
<Directory "/home/playcat/public_html/backend">
to
<Directory /home/playcat/public_html/backend>
That is how it is supposed to be written according to the spec:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#directory
Here is an example that works for me:
<Directory /path/to/web/site/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
# (Following line optional)
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /path/to/htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Directory>

I'm trying to protect an older TYPO3 8.7 backend (/typo3) via an AuthType basic part in the normal TYPO3 .htaccess file.
I always end up with internal server errors.
Has anyone done this before ?
Is it possible that this could not wor with the symlinks ?
I am puting this part of code on top of my .htaccess (before all the rwrite stuff starts):
SetEnvIf Request_URI ^.*/typo3.* require_auth=true
AuthType basic
AuthName "Admin Schutz"
AuthUserFile /usr/etc/.htpasswd
#Order Deny,Allow
#Deny from all
#Satisfy any
Require valid-user
Allow from env=!require_auth
Thanks for any hints!
Assuming that your /usr/etc/.htpasswd file is accessible and valid (created properly with htpasswd command and chmoded to 644) your sample should work for Apache 2.2, but not in Apache 2.4 according to comments in this post. Literally in 2.4 it will work, but will require password also for your root domain.
There are two solutions. First is placing additional .htaccess files in your typo3 directory with simple rule, i.e. as shown by #Naderio:
AuthType basic
AuthName "Secret area!"
AuthUserFile /usr/etc/.htpasswd
require valid-user
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Satisfy ANY
However, if you created a typo3 symlink to sources as suggested in TYPO3's documentation and/or you don't want to require BasicAuth for all projects which uses the same sources, you can override these settings directly in VHOST configuration like (assuming that you have all your TYPO3 projects i.e. in /www/typo3/ folder:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin your#email.tld
DocumentRoot "/www/typo3/project-x.loc"
ServerName project-x.loc
# below your valid paths for log files...
# ErrorLog "logs/project-x.loc-error_log"
# CustomLog "logs/project-x.loc-access_log" common
<Directory "/www/typo3/project-x.loc">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory "/www/typo3/project-x.loc/typo3">
AuthType basic
AuthName "Restricted in VHOST config!"
AuthUserFile /usr/etc/.htpasswd
require valid-user
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Satisfy ANY
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Note: I'd check anyway if the path you are trying to use /usr/etc/ is accessible for Apache at all, maybe it will be better moving your .htpasswd file somewhere closer to your www structure like to folder /www/etc/ and fix the above rules accordingly?
Should work with:
AuthType basic
AuthName "Secret area!"
AuthUserFile /usr/etc/.htpasswd
require valid-user
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Satisfy ANY
An internal server error is thrown, e.g. if your path to the AuthUserFile isn't correct.
Here i've written down my snippet for my personal public documentation:
https://www.entwicklertools.de/snippet-sammlung/htaccess-snippets/passwortschutz-einrichten/
Thanks to all replies.
finally we also did this in the vhost by the following code using the "location"-tag.
<Location /typo3/>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Enter Password"
AuthUserFile /www_data/.htpasswd4xyz
Require valid-user
</Location>
In case you can't edit the vhost config,
this line shoud work istead of your SetEnvIf in your .htaccess, intoo:
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI ^/typo3/$ require_auth=true
I know that the question has been asked here : htaccess exclude multiple url from Basic Auth but in the answer I didn't find the solution my problem so I reask here.
I want to block access to the root of a project in with htpasswd except for api url (it's not an existing folder but an endpoint controlled by index.php).
So far here is what I use for the htaccess :
<Location />
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Auth Required"
AuthUserFile /home/user/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
SetEnvIf Request_URI "(api|oauth)$" allow
Order allow,deny
Allow from env=allow
Satisfy any
</Location>
=> the htpasswd works but it blocks /api/xxx too.
Can somebody help me to correct that ?
You can use it like this:
SetEnvIf Request_URI "/(api|oauth)(/.*)?$" allow
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Auth Required"
AuthUserFile /home/user/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
Satisfy any
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from env=allow
Also note that the <Location> directive is not allowed in .htaccess.
I have read that Delta-V adds Versioning Extensions to WebDAV but I don't find how to configure my ubuntu server to implement this extentions . this is my webdav configuration and it works fine :
<Directory /webdav>
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymlinks
DAV On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "webdav"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/webdav.password
Require valid-user
</Directory>
I've been working through "PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, & CSS" by Robin Nixon, and have hit a brick wall with the Basic Authentication in PHP section: the login pop-up won't accept a correct username and password and instead loops. So I tried editing the server's config settings. I'm using the Apache2 server, and have (I think) set up authentication and authorization through configuring httpd.conf and .htaccess, but I am now getting a 500 internal server error. I'm new to php so it's perhaps likely that i have missed a step or misunderstood a step, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
In httpd.conf i have added the following:
<Directory "...\Apache2/htdocs">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authentication Required"
AuthUserFile "...Apache2\passwd"
Require valid-user
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
Is this where i am going wrong?
I have password protected my entire website using .htaccess but I would like to expose one of the sub directories so that it can be viewed without a password.
How can I disable htaccess password protection for a sub directory? Specifically what is the .htaccess syntax.
Here is my .htaccess file that is placed in the root of my ftp.
AuthName "Site Administratrion"
AuthUserFile /dir/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName secure
AuthType Basic
require user username1
order allow,deny
allow from all
You need to create a new .htaccess file in the required directory and include the Satisfy any directive in it like so, for up to Apache 2.3:
# allows any user to see this directory
Satisfy Any
The syntax changed in Apache 2.4, this has the same effect:
Require all granted
Adding to RageZ's answer, I used this in the Server Directives:
<Directory /var/www/protected/>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Production"
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/protected/unprotected>
Satisfy Any
</Directory>
Awesome. Thanks RageZ!
Simply create a new .htaccess in the desired subdirectory with this directive:
Allow from all
You can restrict to your IP only with :
Allow from x.x.x.x
See : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_access_compat.html
Here is a way to allow subdirectory "foo" through the basic authentication from the main .htaccess file on a site:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Required"
AuthUserFile /dir/.htpasswd
Require expr %{REQUEST_URI} =~ m#^/foo/#
Require valid-user
Note: This works in Apache 2.4. I have not confirmed for earlier versions.
You need to add another .htaccess file to the subdirectory that overrides the authentication. .htaccess cascades upwards, i.e. it will look in the current folder, then go up a level and so on.
If you want to prevent any specific directoty from htaccess authentication then you can use following code in your htaccess file at top.
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Enter Pass"
AuthUserFile /home/public_html/.htpasswd /*PATH TO YOUR .htpasswd FILE*/
Require valid-user
SetEnvIf Request_URI "(/DIRECTORY_NAME/)$" allow
Order allow,deny
Allow from env=allow
Also If you want to prevent multiple directories then
add
SetEnvIf Request_URI "(/DIRECTORY_NAME/)$" allow
as many time as many directories, you want to remove from htaccess prevention.
