Hi

I am trying to limit access to a particular webpage on my server by placing a .htaccess file the directory of the webpage I am trying to restrict access to

It contains the following :

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Access"
# (Following line optional)
# AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /var/www/localhost/passwords/passwords
Require user micropross

It does not seem to do anything, am I missing something?

Thanks,
Lee
