Instructions
1. Create User
Use the
add_boxAdd User
button to create new users.
Be aware that the password must NOT contain any ":" characters!
You can delete already created users or change their passwords with the delete
delete_forever
and edit
mode_edit
buttons that appear to the right of the user name in the list.
2. Activate
Activate the authentication with the
add_boxActivate
button. This will only work if there is at least one valid user in the htpasswd
file (and therefor the user list at the beginning of this page).
This will activate the password setting in the .htaccess file. Later you can deactivate it with the
remove_circleDeactivate
button.
CAREFUL: After you activate the authentification you will have to enter the user and password to access this page,
so make sure that you remember the credentials.
F.A.Q
I don't remember the user credentials and can't access the page anymore
No worries, just use your FTP account to access the directory where you installed '.htaccess Setup', delete the
.htpasswd file AND remove in the .htaccess file everything between the two tags that say
'96ideas Htpasswd Setup Tool', INCLUDING both those lines!
After this you will be able to access the setup tool and the page again and set a new password (and then activate
the authentication).
