Apache 1.3 / unix & CGI security

Post by embe » Wed, 09 Aug 2000 04:00:00



Hi there,

can I use ".htaccess" file-like technology to give my webusers
limited access to my cgi-(sub-)directories ?

How can I be sure that one cgi script is only used by those people
who know one specific user/password  ?


Thanks,
marc

Sure.

Probably a combination of a <Files> directive and use of Basic authentication.
See the manual pages on <Files> and mod_auth/allow/require etc. for more info.
