Hello,
We have Tivoli Netview V5.1 installed on an AIX system + NWays Campus
Manager LAN/ATM V1.2.3.
We have configured the Netview's Apache web server to serve the NWays pages
with no problems.
No we would like to restrict the access to the NWays web pages, but not to
the Netview ones. As such, security has not been turned on in Netview.
We wanted to use the Apache's basic security options, but get no results
with it.
Usually, if this was a real and complete Apache server (which I suppose it
is), you would just create a .htaccess file in the directory you want to
limit the access to, and put in this file something like :
AuthName "Restricted Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/OV/web/httpd/conf/nways.user
require valid-user
We have created the nways.user file using the htpasswd binary found in
/usr/OV/web/httpd, but when I point my browser to the directory in which my
HTML files are, I got no user/passwd prompt.
I'm sure this .htaccess file is read, because if I add the statement :
"deny for all" in it, then I cannot get access to this directory anymore.
Has anyone already tried to use this Apache server that way ? With success
?
If yes, please tell me how... I feel I'm missing something...
Thank you in advance
