Shannon,
Thank you for getting back to me!
I am running a newer version of apache that only has
the httpd.conf configuration file. The text that I
placed in the file is as follows:
#########################################3333
# Stuff added by Randy
alias /protected "/var/www/protected/"
<Directory /protected>
# This is the standard authentication stuff
AuthName "Foo Bar Authentication"
AuthType Basic
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenNIS
# Standard require stuff, NIS users or
groups, and
# "valid-user" all work OK
require user username
require valid-user
# The following is actually only needed when
authorizing
# against NIS groups. This is a separate
module.
#PerlAuthzHandler Apache::AuthzNIS
</Directory>
#
As far as the .htaccess file is concerned, I only did
a "touch .htaccess" to create the file in the
/protected directory. I did not find any
documentation on WHAT needed to be put into the file.
Also, should there be a .so module file for authenNIS
in my httpd.conf file?
Again, Thanks!
Randy
