Protected Directories

Protected Directories (/websites/protect) puts an HTTP password in front of a directory of one of your websites.

Pick the domain, then the path inside it, and add the users who may open it. A request for anything under that path is challenged before it reaches PHP.

The rule works on every WebEngine this server can run, because it is written by hitechcloudcli native-protect into the per-site snippet directory the vhost already includes — not into a .htaccess file that only one engine reads.
