This article shows you how to configure apache in the Linux server to support user authentication. The content is concise and easy to understand, which will definitely brighten your eyes. I hope you can get something through the detailed introduction of this article.

Apache supports user authentication

For the security of the server, when a user requests access to a folder, Apache can require the user to enter a valid user name and login password

1. Create a test directory

[root@localhost cgi-bin] # mkdir / var/www/html/wj

2. Enable the authentication function, and modify the configuration file httpd.conf as follows, (change none to all in the configuration of the html directory)

[root@localhost ~] # gedit / etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.

# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:

# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

#

AllowOverride All / / defaults to none, and here it is changed to all

#

# Controls who can get stuff from this server.

#

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

3. Add the configuration to the directory that needs authentication, modify the httpd.conf file, and add the following

/ / wj is the directory we want to authenticate.

AllowOverride AuthConfig / / AuthConfig must be used here

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

4. Set the user name and password to the test directory

[root@localhost wj] # htpasswd-c / var/www/html/wj/.htpasswd david / / david is the user name created

New password: / / you need to enter the password here. The following is the confirmation password.

Re-type new password:

Adding password for user david / / created successfully

[root@localhost wj] #

5. Create a htaccess file and add content

[root@localhost wj] # vim .htaccess

AuthUserFile / var/www/html/wj/.htpasswd

AuthName "david"

AuthType Basic

Require valid-user

6. Restart the Apache service

[root@localhost wj] # service httpd restart

7. Test. Type "127.0.0.1/wj" in the browser, and you can see that you need to enter a password.

A Linux learning platform has been made, and a prototype has come out at present, which you can refer to and use.
