Authentication? {Scanned}

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi Patric,

I havn't heard about any authentication modul in mapserver, I usually use 
then apache auth module to add password protection to directories.

You have load the auth_module, add 
LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so
to the httpd.conf file (propaply it is involved but in comment).
And add the protected directories to the httpd.conf to e.g.
<Directory full_path_to_your_dir>
AutName any_name
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile file_created_htpasswd
Require user user_name_from_htpasswd_file
</Directory>

If you have several users, then you can add access right to groups.
See httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/auth.html

Bye
Zoltan
