    Hi,

    I wish if one of the reader here could help me giving a real quick solution for the below issue, I have some pages in my site which are restricted with htaccess, hence if any user try to access will be asked to enter the username/password. Same time I have some partner website who already has some pages with htaccess or other type of authentication, now if the cross link the pages in my site which are protected with htaccess is poping up the dialog box once again to my client site visitor. But I wanted a solution for selectively skiping the htaccess process for requests. Since my clients website visitors are from different IP address i’m really not able to allow them using IP. Again with HTTP_REFERER variable also i’m sick.

    Siva

    how is your site structured? where does WordPress and the .htaccess file(s) reside?

    mod_auth doesnt work that way, so the answer to your question is “there is no solution” that will allow you to selectively use mod_auth. You either use it the way it’s intended, or not at all.

    Either provide another mechanism that password protects files (directories ARE files, yes they are), or ditch mod_auth, or dont store sensitive files on the ‘net.

    ## did you even read the op, scaturan?
