URI

Enter the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the resource that will

 

 

participate in the authentication process.

 

 

Note: To refer to a file resource, the URI must begin with /.

 

 

 

 

 

Realm

Enter the domain, or realm, used for HTTP operations.

 

 

 

 

 

AuthType

Select an authorization type. Different types of authorization offer

 

 

varying levels of security. Choices are (from least to most secure):

 

 

None = no authentication necessary.

 

 

Basic = encodes passwords using Base64.

 

 

Digest = encodes passwords using MD5. (Default)

 

 

SSL = page can only be accessed over SSL (no password).

 

 

SSL/Basic = page can only be accessed over SSL (encodes

 

 

passwords using Base64).

 

 

SSL/Digest = page can only be accessed over SSL (encodes

 

 

passwords using MD5).

 

 

SSL alone does not require a password, but all data transferred to and

 

 

from the HTTP Server is encrypted. There is no reason to create an

 

 

authentication directive using None, unless you want to override a

 

 

parent directive that uses some other AuthType. Multiple users can be

 

 

configured within a single authentication directive.

 

 

 

 

 

Username

Enter the name of the user who will participate in the authentication.

 

 

Default is admin.

 

 

 

 

 

Password

Enter the password that will be associated with the username. Default

 

 

is PASS.
