Ubuntu 14 LTS Amember: 4.4.2 We want to add some extra protection to the /admin/ folder. First we want to use "basic" apache protection, then we want to use the Google Authenticator for 2-step authentication. I have tried to set up "basic" apache authentication by placing the snippet below in the apache configuration files. This did not function correctly at all. In fact, it made apache hang. Any advice is welcome. <Directory "/home/printscience/public_html/am4usd/admin"> DirectoryIndex index.php Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI AuthType Basic AuthName "PrintScience protected area" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd require valid-user AllowOverride None order deny,allow allow from all </Directory>
