site.authent

Examples are found in site.authent. The first Config file, .../conf/httpd1.conf, looks like this:

User webuser
Group webgroup
ServerName www.butterthlies.com
NameVirtualHost 192.168.123.2

<VirtualHost www.butterthlies.com>
ServerAdmin sales@butterthlies.com
DocumentRoot /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/htdocs/customers
ServerName www.butterthlies.com
ErrorLog /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/logs/error_log
TransferLog /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/logs/customers/access_log
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/www/APACHE3/cgi-bin
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost sales.butterthlies.com>
ServerAdmin sales_mgr@butterthlies.com
DocumentRoot /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/htdocs/salesmen
ServerName sales.butterthlies.com
ErrorLog /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/logs/error_log
TransferLog /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/logs/salesmen/access_log
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/www/APACHE3/cgi-bin

<Directory /usr/www/APACHE3/site.authent/htdocs/salesmen>
AuthType Basic
AuthName darkness
AuthUserFile /usr/www/APACHE3/ok_users/sales
AuthGroupFile /usr/www/APACHE3/ok_users/groups
require valid-user
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

What's going on here? The key directive is AuthType Basic in the <Directory ...salesmen> block. This turns Authentication checking on.
