Exclude file/directories/urls from Apache .htaccess password protection :: How to
05 Jan 2012I’ve an Apache .htaccess password protected site I’m working on but need certain pages to be accessible without a password
Took awhile but finally got it figured out - refer my .htaccess file below for the details
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Auth Required"
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
# allow public access to the following resources
SetEnvIf Request_URI "(path/to/directory/)$" allow
SetEnvIf Request_URI "(path/to/file\.phpt)$" allow
SetEnvIf Request_URI "(util)$" allow
Order allow,deny
Allow from env=allow
# allow open access to entire site for select ips and sites
Allow from 777.777.77.7
Allow from 888.888.88.8
Satisfy any
