Authentication with more than one .htpasswd
 

hi

i am aware that there is an apache patch that would let you authenticate for a site from more than one .htpasswd, does anybody know where to find it?

thanks in advance

If you can't find it, you can do a quick and easy cron job

*/10 * * * * cat .htpasswd1 .htpasswd2 > .htpasswd3

It will update .htpasswd3 with info from .htpasswd1 and .htpasswd2 every 10th minute.

thats exactly what i have running, but there are some issues with that setup actually.

Why not use only one passfile and have all of the sites read it and all of the billers only update that one file?

I've heard of that mod before too - but never used it. I had a peek around google, but could only find people asking the same question that you are.

If you find it, post back - I'd like to toss it in my bookmarks :)

this is actually a good suggestion, but i prefer keeping them separate in case the worst happens (you never know)

thanks man, i appreciate it.
