• Password protection for server-info does not work

    From Burkhard Schultheis@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 29 15:52:37 2018
    I have to implement server-info with password protection on some SLES 12
    SP3 servers running Apache 2.4. server-info works, but the server does
    not ask for a password. I have done the following:

    mod_info.conf:

    <IfModule mod_info.c>
    <Location /server-info>
    SetHandler server-info
    Require all denied
    Require local
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Restricted area"
    AuthBasicProvider file
    AuthUserFile /usr/share/apache2/.htpasswd
    Require user <username>
    </Location>
    <Directory /usr/share/apache2>
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    </IfModule>

    I've created the file /usr/share/apache2/.htpasswd with htpasswd, of course. I've tried the following variations: Instead of using the one and only
    user I've tried "valid_user". And I put the auth directives in a new "Directory" paragraph. Nothing changed.

    Thanks in advance!
