password protect vmktree using .htaccess?

[gordo...@gmail.com]

Is there a way to password protect vmktree?

I've created a htpasswd and .htaccess files but never get prompted for
a login.

I guess that apache has not been configured to use .htaccess. I can't
seem to find any mention of vmktree in any of the .conf files so was
wondering if anyone has tried this or has any pointers?

Update - I forgot to mention that I am using vmktree 0.1.2 and VMWare
server 1.08 on Ubuntu 8.04.

In your apache config you can have the following

     <Location /cgi-bin/vmk>
                AuthUserFile LOCATIONTOHTACCESS
                AuthName "Please Log in to access this resource"
                AuthType Basic
                Satisfy any
                <Limit GET>
                        require valid-user
                        order deny,allow
                        deny from all
                </Limit>
        </Location>

Should work for what your after.

That worked great.

For the record, I didn't originally have any .htpasswd file. (As
required by AuthUserFile (should have been LOCATIONOFHTPASSWD?)

I created a .htpasswd file in a non-public location using the htpasswd
utility

Thanks again for the prompt response!
