 |
|
Hi
Was wondering if the following was possible with .htaccess. I want 2 or 3 ip hosts to be able to connect to a website without a password prompt as they are trusted static IP's. If anyone else connects it I want it to prompt a username and password. This will prevent unknown users or allow known users access if they are using a different PC. Can this be done?
Thanks
Sandy |

Hello Sandy,
the simplest way to keep all others out, but let just a few ppl in with a static adress
| Code: |
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.1.2 192.168.50.2 200.255.254.230
|
In the docs
As far as I know there it is not possible to ask for a password only from "all other". There is only the option to deny the access or ask all inclusive the IP addresses you want to allow asking for a user and password.
Maybe someone know better  |

| yeah thought that was the case. Had a look around the docs but couldn't figure it out. I need unknown IP's to be able to access the site as it could be my users logging in from hotels, other laptops etc but I would need a user and pass to confirm this. Maybe the only way is to turn on the user and pass for everyone? |
