.htaccess password protect for a specific domain - El Forum - 03-17-2010
[eluser]CroNiX[/eluser]
For a project, I have
www.mydomain.com
and
dev.mydomain.com
and I want to use a single htaccess file that will work for both of them, but I want password protection for the dev site. This is so we can use a single .htaccess file in git.
if(site_url === 'dev.mydomain.com')
{
AuthType basic
AuthName "Development"
AuthUserFile /home/path/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
}
how would you write that in .htaccess?
Thanks

Do...
www.mydomain.com
and
dev.mydomain.com
...point to the same directory and/or virtual host? If they do then you probably can't do this with an htaccess file (at least I know of no way to do a conditional that is a directive allowing host header matching.)
Instead, you could detect this in your application and generate the appropriate auth headers via code:

they are actually independent virtual servers, but share a common git repository.
Thanks for the PHP reference, I didn't even think to check that side of it lol.

In that case, if you have access to the apache config files (httpd.conf. etc.) than just do the auth configuration for one.

Well, not too many developers administer Web servers and write code. Fortunately, I'm one of the unfortunate.
Thus, I usually follow the path of least resistance quite readily.
