The way I did it was to use:
<Directory /usr/local/src/lasxml/ui/>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>
Then I put a .htaccess file in the /usr/local/src/lasxml/ui/ directory
that looked like:
AuthUserFile /usr2/WWW/passwords
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "access to OMG LAS Server"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
require user las
</Limit>
Then I used htpasswd to add a password for user "las" in the password file
/usr2/WWW/passwords.
This makes it so anyone going to this LAS directory at all will be asked
for a password. I haven't tried this with LAS 6 yet though.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck,
Steve
P.S. I'm sorry if someone else has already answered this. One of our
campus email servers is lagging quite a bit and I'm still receiving email
from this morning. It will be a few hours before it has caught up.
