htaccess etc

Hi Guys,

I am just in the process of configuring my site. I came across this code in the .htaccess section:

HTPASSWD protect plugin

Password protect directories with this plugin.
It generates .htpasswd and .htgroup files in directory
/mnt/target02/345709/www.viralert.com/web/content/amember/data. You should put the following code into
directory you want to protect.

If you have only one level of access, use the following .htaccess file:
AuthType Basic AuthName "Members Only" AuthUserFile /mnt/target02/345709/www.viralert.com/web/content/amember/data/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /mnt/target02/345709/www.viralert.com/web/content/amember/data/.htgroup Require valid-user


To allow access to directory for customers of specific products only,
use the following code.
AuthType Basic AuthName "Members Only" AuthUserFile /mnt/target02/345709/www.viralert.com/web/content/amember/data/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /mnt/target02/345709/www.viralert.com/web/content/amember/data/.htgroup Require group PRODUCT_1 PRODUCT_3

With this code, only customers who have active subscription to
membership types #1 and/or #3 will be allowed to enter into directory.

You may want to add line like:
ErrorDocument 401 /401.htm

to show page http://www.yoursite.com/401.htm for unauthorized
customer and redirect them to signup page.

Do I need to manually copy and paste this somewhere for the protection to work or is this already done on setting up the protected folders?


Thanks,

Stallen
