(this setup is basically what you did in your last attempt) Alias /croot/ c:/ AuthUserFile "userauth.uaf" AuthType Basic AuthName RestrictedInformation require user foo And this worked for me. Maybe you can try this again with Apache 1.3.4? Couple of things to watch for: -Browsers (like IE) may add a trailing '/' to your URL, so that is the reason the Alias needs the trailing '/' -Make sure you haven't already entered the userid and password for another restricted area, otherwise the browser caches that info and will not ask you again, and it may appear as though you got to the index without authorization. Let us know! Thanks for using Apache.
