Access based on IP address works from .htaccess with Files directive: <Files *> Require ip 10.0.0.109 </Files> But it doesn't read AuthType Basic, it doesn't ask me for any password. AuthName "restricted stuff" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile "/etc/apache2/users" require user webmaster It seems to me Apache 2.4 is very limited what can, and can not go into .htaccess.
