> For Basic authentication issue the following command: > > htpasswd -c /opt/htpasswd/passwd.users username > > In httpd.conf > > <Directory /var/www/html/myfolder> > AuthType Basic > AuthName "Access to the Modules" > AuthUserFile /opt/htpasswd/passwd.users > Require user username > </Directory> Hey , Thanks everybody for replying me.I followed the above example.The problem now I am facing is that when i put the address http://localhost/myfolder it asks for password.What I wanted is that If anybody tries to access a subdirectory under /var/www/html/open/hms/modules/ then it should ask for password.As this directory contains some important modules and everybody should not have access to this. I gave these entries in httpd.conf and restarted the apache server <Directory /var/www/html/open/hms/modules> AuthType Basic AuthName "Access to the Modules" AuthUserFile /opt/htpasswd/passwd.users Require user username </Directory> I does prompt for the password for every directory where as I want to ask for a particular subdirectory under /var/www/open/hms/modules. Please guide me.Moreover if you can tell me the SSL encryption method also I will be very helpful as I will configure the authentication depending on the type of client. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover
