multiple usernames & passwords for ibays
« on: October 01, 1999, 12:03:22 AM »
I'm trying to set up an ibay which can be accessed using several different username and password combinations.  Can anyone offer advice?

thanks

You'll need to study the Apache documentation on access control. You could use a separate access control files for each ibay, and use "require valid user" instead of "require user admin", etc.

The Apache access rules are in:

/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/access.conf

Once you have configured the template, you'll need to update the real access control file with:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event manager-misc

and then restart Apache.

You can create Apache user/password files using the /usr/bin/htpasswd command (use "man htpasswd" for information).

This will be a little tricky, so make sure you read the htpasswd and Apache server documentation carefully.

Good luck,
- Joe
