On one of the SLAC unix machines, create a .htpasswd file that will contain your login names and passwords.
cpo@suncatls1 $ cd cpo@suncatls1 $ htpasswd -c .htpasswd webtest
(use "-c" only for creating your first password)
htpasswd will prompt you (twice) to input the password for the login name "webtest".
Create a subdirectory that you want to protect under ~/public_html. Put two files there:
The .shtaccess should contain:
AuthUserFile /afs/slac/u/if/cpo/.htpasswd AuthName "Enter userid and password" AuthType Basic <LIMIT GET> require user webtest </LIMIT>
Edit two lines in .shtaccess: location of .htpasswd and the "require user" line with the username
The .htaccess should contain (this does not have to be editted):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
