To protect a public directory iKeepinCloud, it is possible to use a couple of .htaccess and .htpasswd file. It is necessary to adapt these files to the iKeepinCloud environment

The public directory

By default, the public folder is accessible without authentication.
The URL of the public folder is created with this logic :
http://public.User_Name.ID_Platform.ikeepincloud.com/Sub_Folder

For example, in the case of the account 123456 configured on the FR platform 01, here is the URL of the root of the public folder :
http://public.123456.fr01.ikeeincloud.com/
If we create a subfolder top_secret' Here are the URL :
http://public.123456.fr01.ikeeincloud.com/top_secret/

Lexicon

  • .htaccess : It is apache containing, inter alia, configuration file the path to the file .htpasswd. It is present in the web hosting directory and is interpreted by Apache.
  • .htpasswd : It is the file generated by the tool htpasswd. It contains a table with the couple user /password (encrypted ).

Creating the .htaccess file

The generation of the .htaccess file depends on the physical path to the .htpasswd file. .Htaccess and .htpasswd file must be located in the directory to protect.

Here is an example of a .htaccess file to protect the root of the public folder password : 

AuthName 'Acces protege'
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile './htaccess/123456/.htpasswd'
Require valid-user

Here is an example of a .htaccess file to protect by password the subfolder top_secret : 

AuthName 'Acces protege'
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile './htaccess/123456/top_secret/.htpasswd'
Require valid-user

Create the .htpasswd file

With the command below we proceed to password encryption T0p5ecreT for the user UserTest 

htpasswd -bn UserTest T0p5ecreT
UserTest:lBiy7cii4YleM

The result of the command UserTest:lBiy7cii4YleM shall be recorded in the file .htpasswd.
If you don't have the htpasswd tool, generators are available online by doing a search "'htpasswd generator"
