Hi all,
First of, thanks for dedicating your time to help out on this site.
now, to my issue.
I am currently working with apache 2.2.16
I am using .htaccess file with DIGEST for protecting some development dirs.
Now the problem that I am facing is, that the .htaccess file works like a charm when accessing the dir with the DNS name.
But, I tryed to access the dir directly with the IP, now the server did not ask for any user confirmation? I tryed from different nodes on different networks just to be sure, its the same on anyone of them, if one use the Ip adress then no user confirmation is required, if one uses the DNS name, it ask for user confirmation.
Here is a copy of my .htaccess file
| Code: | AuthType Digest
AuthName non-public
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.userfile
Require user michael |
I hope there is an guru out there who can help me in a jiffy =)
Thanks in advanced
Best regards
Michael
PS.
I did check the logs but I could not find any error logs on the issue. |

Hmm I only have shell to work with, so cant test from localhost. But a good question, to bad I don't have any means to test it. |

You could also use the host file to test different domain names |

Hi again.
I got to test it from shell access with lynx (a terminal internet browser)
The .HTaccess file does not ask me to input any user credentials to access the page, so it seems security is no at max here.
Hmm I probably should tell you I am running a linux and not a windows server 
Although I don’t think it makes any difference regarding the .htaccess file |
