Wondered if someone can help, am floundering about trying to work out whether to use htaccess or a database type solution in order to restrict access to my personal website.
Have looked at perl module Apache::Htaccess module and this raises the same question I have with the htaccess solution, can I use a different password file to my /etc/passwd file. I don't particularly want people who log in to the web page given access to the system and I am using shadow passwording which I am sure I have seen is not allowed with htaccess. Trouble is I am having trouble finding out how to create a seperate password file (am using Linux RH 8.0). Then again this newbie is struggling, want to restrict access to certain pages and thought another solution might be to create a database, and use a cookie to track the user (with the u/n and password in a digest). Is there a perl module which can help here, find I am still not familiar with CPAN and it is taking a long time. Any help much appreciated.
