apache auth

[Anon]

hey,

Does anyone know anything about apache authenication? I have this and have no idea how to deal with it.

AuthDBUserFile /home/httpd/password/ifnbd.db
AuthDBGroupFile /home/httpd/password/ifnbd.db
AuthName "My page"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

This is in the .htaccess file

What is it and how does it work?

thanks

jim

Here is a good place to start, there is a series of 4 articles, this is the search string I used, hopefully it will work. Start with article 1 and work your way to 4. That will answer all your questions.
