Enabling Basic Authentication on Apache HTTP Server

Enable the basic authentication on Apache HTTP server.

1. Open a terminal window.
2. Navigate to ASG_HOME/modules/http_server/apache directory.
3. Edit the mod_ASG.conf file.
4. Search for the following section in the file:

      <Location/>
      SetHandler asg_rv_inbound_handler
      AsgSubject _LOCAL.asg.north.request
      AsgTimeout 30
      </Location>

5. Insert the configuration for a new location above the old location configuration as follows:

      <Location /asg/ba>
      AuthType Basic
      AuthName "ASG"
      # (Following line optional, file is default)
      AuthBasicProvider file
      AuthUserFile /home/asg/apache/htpasswd/htpasswords
      Require validuser
      SetHandler asg_rv_inbound_handler
      AsgSubject _LOCAL.asg.north.request
      AsgTimeout 30
      </Location>

6. Verify that the location changes are as follows:

      <Location /asg/ba>
      AuthType Basic
      AuthName "ASG"
      # (Following line optional, file is default)
      AuthBasicProvider file
      AuthUserFile /home/asg/apache/htpasswd/htpasswords
      Require validuser
      SetHandler asg_rv_inbound_handler
      AsgSubject _LOCAL.asg.north.request
      AsgTimeout 30
      </Location>
      <Location / >
      SetHandler asg_rv_inbound_handler
      AsgSubject _LOCAL.asg.north.request
      AsgTimeout 30
      </Location>

   Note: This location change enforces user access with basic authentication.
7. Save the mod_ASG.conf file.
