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.
