Hi
I would like to force one of Apache's (2.2.8 with OpenSSL 0.9.8g) alias only https connection and with mod_auth_digest authorization.
I have created .htaccess file and put it on alias directory :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/support_center/$1 [L,R]
AuthType Digest
AuthName "support"
AuthUserFile "path_to_apache_directory/passwd/digest"
require valid-user
But when clients use http connection they are asked about login/password and after this they are forwarded to https connection and asked about login/password one more time.
How to avoid this situation ? I would like to force client to switch http to https automaticly and after establishing https connection, request to log in based on mod_auth_digest.
Any advise would be appreciate. |

Why not rewrite the root directory and ask for the password in the /support_center folder?
Maybe you make a link or a PHP redirect in the folder to support_center. |
