htaccess help

[PeekHoles]

Any one know the code to have htaccess check two htpasswd files instead of just one htpasswd file? Both htpassword files will be on the same server. I heard this can be done but can't find any info on this. If you know how or can lead me in the right direction would be a great help.

we have a passwd file for each processor and a script that merges them all every minute on a cron

When you use a .htaccess file (or, better, a Directory block in your config file) for authentication, it establishes a "realm" within a directory tree. Each realm has one data file, usually called .htpasswd, to resolve the User Name:Password combinations to determine a required valid-user. Realms can be overridden in a subdirectory within a realm, but not nested.

So, no, there is no coding that will have htaccess check two password files. However, the opposite can be done: You can use one central htpasswd file for more than one site with the use of the htgroup file (and a lot more tricks can be done, as well!)..
