Re: ldirectord config for web server behind authentication

Thank you very much for the response.

For the time being I have used the apache "Satisfy any" directive to sort
out this issue, by allowing requests from our IP address to come through and
show basic authentication to the rest. My Apache config now looks like this


<Directory "/var/www/html/wwwroot">
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
 order deny,allow
 deny from all
 Allow from xx.xxx.xxx
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Protected Area"
        AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/passwd/pass
        Require user username
 Satisfy any
</Directory

This has sorted out my issue.
