Access Control Examples

For the examples given, the user "cscie12" is used. You should substitute your username and home directory appropriately.

The following .htpasswd.demo and .htgroup.demo files are used:

/home/c/s/cscie12/.htpasswd.demo
The .htpasswd.demo was generated by using the utility "htpasswd" 
ice% htpasswd
Usage: htpasswd [-c] passwordfile username 
The -c flag creates a new file. 

ice% htpasswd -c /home/c/s/cscie12/.htpasswd.demo guest
Adding password for guest 
New password: *****
Re-type password: *****
Password for "guest" (and all other entries) is "guest". Entries for guest2, guest3, and guest4 are created without the "-c" flag, since the .htpasswd.demo file already exists.

Contents of file:

guest:79WeSn3vYGsKQ
guest2:PR4APgA.4CKO.
guest3:5DbCMPbSDstj2
guest4:htPnr8jT4bI5E

.htgroup.demo
Contents of file:

VIP: guest guest4
