You can set the realm with AuthName "private area"
example
Code: |
<Location /private/>
AuthType Digest
AuthName "private area"
AuthDigestDomain /private/ http://mirror.my.dom/private2/
AuthDigestProvider file
AuthUserFile /web/auth/.digest_pw
Require valid-user
</Location>
|
For more details see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_auth_digest.html
if you still have a question, please ask again. |
