Message digest hash numbers represent specific files containing the protected works. One message digest is assigned to particular data content. It can reference a change made deliberately or accidentally, but it prompts the owner to identify the modification as well as the individual(s) making the change. Message digests are algorithmic numbers. How to Implement Apache Digest Authentication I decided to repost this, because I had accidentally assigned it to the wrong zone(s). I am looking to password protect my entire www directory.
I have an issue where I am trying to set a test directory to authenticate using the AuthType Digest. I have been able to successfully complete this but only when the AuthName of .htaccess is one string entry.
Example .htaccess:
Example .htpasswd
If I change the Realm in .htpasswd and .htaccess AuthName to 'Gordon and' ..I get this error (from Apache logs/error.log)
I have tried encasing the Realm in single and double quotes marks to no avail, currently editing using Notepad++ but have also tried creating via the ht_digest.exe tool ...still no dice.
I have also looked on the Apache AuthType and ht_digest docs but maybe its not the right section as I can't seem to find any information on containing whitespaced realms.
Any pointers or advice would be appreciated, thanks.
