    Hi! I can’t seem to figure out how to enable user authentication for a file/page that lives in the root folder.
    The webpage is an intranet site, where the authentication works just fine, nothing is visible until a successful login.
    My goal is to add a link to the site that leads to that specific file (an Adobe RoboHelp generated “wiki”). If I access the file example.domain.com/folder/index.htm there is no authentication and anyone can see the content. Only those people who already have access to the said intranet page should be able to access it.
    Hope this makes sense.

    Thank you for any ideas and suggestions!

    WordPress is not in control of authentication for each file. WordPress is only invoked if the address does not exist, so WordPress can dynamically generate it.
    You can make the file part of what WP handles (as a page), or use Basic Authentication, or have your server software handle it (upstream of WP).
