when enabled htaccess in one dir, browser fails to authenticate and continue to prompt for password. I use a VHtemplates For every site I have a "stats" directory with a specific .htaccess where is specified the required user and a required group in order to view the dir content. If I use realm and context the user is autenticated but the problem is that I can specified "one user" for "one site" and with VHtemplates if I enable realm and context all the user in my password file are authenticated in every site. This is my .htaccess file: AuthUserFile /etc/httpusers/.users AuthGroupFile /etc/httpusers/.groups AuthName "Statistiche sito" AuthType Basic <limit GET> require user sth require group sth </limit> --- Thanks Alessandro
For security reasons, the litespeed by default does not allow access to /etc/ folder. You can change it via "Server -> Security -> Access Denied Directories" in the web admin gui.
/etc/ for password file probably is fine, fixed a bug related to authentication configuration in htaccess, fix will be in 2.2.3 release.
