For example one way is to use htaccess. You must be the user root to do this. Do the following command as a single line: /opt/hpws/apache/bin/htpasswd -c /opt/hpws/apache/.passwd me At the prompt enter the following: secret secret Edit or create /opt/hpws/apache/htdocs/.htaccess Add lines: AuthUserFile /opt/hpws/apache/.passwd AuthType Basic AuthName Test require user me Edit /opt/hpws/apache/conf/httpd.conf Go to: Change: AllowOverride None To: AllowOverride All Now you will get an authorization prompt when you try to access files in /opt/hpws/htdocs and below.
