Thanks guys
I managed to do something similar in the end, using the prefix user_ for
each user directory then adding .htaccess to root dir of:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /var/www/passwd/htpasswd
Require valid-user
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^user_
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^([a-z0-9_]+)$
RewriteRule (.*) /var/www/accesstest/user_%1/$1 [
The only problem with this is that any user could access other users
directories... so I then had to add an additional .htaccess of
require user spidie
to the user_spidie directory... etc etc.
Hopefully there is a better way to automate this - I don't like the extra
.htaccess as if the file accidentally gets deleted the directory is open to
valid users again.
