Hello,
I hope you can help me with this.... Here is what I am trying to do: I am running the application Etherpad on a vserver, the installation is fine, I can acces it from the web via a certain port like domain.org:1000
That's what I want to change: I want an authentication for users before they get the etherpad landing page, from which you can create public pads and the like.
So here is what I tried and what does not work right now:
I generated a password for a user with
htpasswd -c , renamed it to .htpasswd and put it in usr/local/pwd/.htpasswd. Then I sat up an .htaccess in the same dir with this content
AuthName "pw bitte"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/usr/local/pwd/.htpasswd"
Require valid-user
Then I edited the httpd.conf in /etc/apache2
and inserted this
<Proxy *>
AuthName "pw bitte"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/usr/local/pwd/.htpasswd"
Require user etherp
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from all
</Proxy>
I restarted Apache with
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
But when accesing domain.org:1000 or domain.org now no authentication box pops up. Any idea? Thanks a lot!
