Quick note on ISPConfig and Apache Basic Auth
I have been using ISPConfig on one of my servers to handle a few shared hosting sites for the past year or so. It isn’t bad, but its definitely showing its age. I just wanted to make a quick note about setting up a site to do Apache Basic Authentication using ISPConfig since I didn’t find anything on the internet.
It is actually quite straight forward, and anyone with apache skills is likely to try this. It doesn’t seem to allow you to simply put the Auth directives right int the “Apache Directives” box for a given site. You actually need to put “AllowOverride AuthConfig” there and then place your other Authentication directives in a .htaccess file. I am not sure if I am doing it wrong somehow, but this seemed to be the only way of accomplishing auth.
