If you are using Apache server on Unix, then the type of security you seem to want is easy.

Apache's built-in basic authentication can use the following three files:

  • .htaccess (for defining what groups are allowed to use a directory);
  • .htgroup (for defining who is in a group); and
  • .htpasswd (for storing the names and encrypted passwords of users.)

For instance, let's say that you created a directory called SA and you only wanted users who are members of the SAgroup to have access. Then place in your SA directory an .htaccess file similar to the following:

AuthName "Security Solutions Center HelpDesk" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /mypath/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /mypath/.htgroup <Limit GET POST> require group SAgroup </LIMIT> ~
Your .htgroup file might look something like this:
SAgroup: NM1121 Ella Mojo
There are several ways to create your .htpasswd file of Apache users and their encrypted passwords. I like the htpasswd module on CPAN.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
