How do I go about authenticating a subdir of a public web site using credentials stored in a MySQL table? The version of Apache I have is 2.4 and I'm stuck with it.

Hi,

to protected a single directory you use the location and the require directive. E.g. with mod_xradius you use:

Code:

<Location "/protected">
        AuthType basic
        AuthBasicProvider xradius
        AuthName "Login required"
        Require valid-user
</Location>


You need to configure the proper authentication provider. I do not know if there is any directly using MySQL. mod_xradius can use MySQL as a backend and hence can be used for MySQL based authentication. Whether this fits your needs depends on your exact requirements.

Best Regards,
Holger
