you will have to use the htpasswd tools located in your apache bin to
create the password file. then you point that directory to that file: ie:
/etc/httpd/conf/passwd/passwords
This should do that you need :)

Hi all,
I have a very basic question regarding authentication on apache...I have in
my httpd.conf a section like below :
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "By Invitaion Only"
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/passwd/passwords
Require valid-user
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
So whenever a browser first sends a cgi-bin request, authentication is done
by userid and password...Whenever subsequent requests come for cgi-bin,
authentication is not required provided the browser has not been closed. How
is this done ?
I know that this is not a problem but I would like to know just for my
information.
Thanx
Anand
