BHI Secured Folders

Setup Information:

BHI's secured forlder system will secure a folder and all files and folders contained in that folder with a username and password (or several username/password combinations).

To enable this feature please request it by contacting us. Once we have enabled this feature for the folder you requested there will be a file named .htpasswd in that folder. This file will store the usernames and passwords that are allowed to access your folder. Take a look at the example below to see how the username/password combinations are stored, the passwords are encrypted for security. You can use the utility below to generate username:password entries for the .htpasswd file.

Generate an Encrypted password:

Password:

Example .htpasswd file

			guest:vzd6u0DqvvU92
			test:unh/Pl.L.fFfA
			

Advanced: the .htaccess file

There is also a .htaccess file in your secured directory. Which will look like the expample below. You can change the AuthName of the login prompt box. Do not change any of the other features in this file as that could cause the secured folder system to not work correctly (usually by denying everyone access).
			AuthName Secured Folder Title
			AuthUserFile <Full Path>\.htpasswd
			Require valid-user
