Re: MiniMate access problems

[Scott_Schenkein@ccnotes.ccity.com]

Well, for those of you with your own servers, and that are running apache (or
any NCSA derivative) here is an obvious solution to the minimate problem we have
all been dealing with...

Add this to your /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf

<Location /cgi-bin/{catalog_path}/config>   -(replace catalog_path with your url
 elements)-
        Options Indexes FollowSymlinks
        AllowOverride None
        AuthUserFile /home/mvend/www/.htpasswd (or path to your .htpasswd file
-- see apache docs or 'man htpasswd')
        AuthGroupFile /dev/null
        AuthName "Caption for box"
        AuthType Basic
        <Limit GET>
                require user trymynuts
        </Limit>
</Location>

Happy minivending.

This has to go into the catalog configuration file, not into the .access
file. The .access should contain an arbitrary string, e.g. "secure".
BTW, you should never use example passwords or publish them.

Obviously, this part of the documentation is misleading.
I would appreciate a suggestion to improve it.
