re: Basic REALM Authentication

Anon

Hi there!

I just want to know how I can implement a realm authentication in html and what are the requirements. I needed this for example, I wanted to verify that this user is qualified to access a particular html page.

Better if you can send me a sample code.

Best regards,
Alona

You didn't specify platform, but if you're using Apache, check here:

If you're using NT, let me know and I can give you more details.
