Add users to the Apache authentication file

Follow these steps:

• Create a group file. This group file associates a group name with a list of persons in that group and has the following syntax.

  GroupName: bitnami user admin user2
  

• Add the user(s) to your password file:

  $ htpasswd /path/to/your/password/file user2
  

• Modify the Apache configuration as below:

  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "By Invitation Only"
  # Optional line:
  AuthBasicProvider file
  AuthUserFile /path/to/your/password/file
  AuthGroupFile /path/to/your/groups/file
  Require group GroupName
  

• Restart the Apache server.
