Re: [biborb-general] authentication

[Guillaume Gardey]

sorry, there was a slight mistake in the .htaccess, you need quotes to
define the Authentication message.

So the following lines should be ok  :

AuthName "BibORB Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/pmartinelli/www/biborb/.htpasswd
require valid-user
