Re: secure apache in debian



I think this should work for you:

                <Location />
                        AuthType Basic
                        AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/ssl/user_auth
                        AuthName "Test"
                        Require valid-user
                </Location>

Put this in under the <VirtualHost> section.  Then use the htpasswd
program to create the /etc/apache2/ssl/user_auth file.
