Protect some page with password

About

This is an advanced configuration, most probably your desired setup can be achieved with accountant permissions.

How to protect some page/actions using simple Apache password?

For this example we will setup Apache to not allow Calling Cards Batch management and to do a manual payment for card without an additional password. For these actions are used these addresses in MOR:

http://YOUR_IP/billing/cards/act?cg=3

and

http://YOUR_IP/billing/cards/card_pay/22?cg=3

1. Create an Apache password file:

htpasswd -c -b -m /home/mor/custome_areas_htpasswd admin your_password

2. Open Apache configuration:

cd /etc/httpd/conf/
mcedit httpd.conf

and edit to look like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/billing/public
RewriteRule ^/billing(/.*)?$   /billing/public
<Directory /var/www/billing/public/>
 Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
 AllowOverride All
 Allow from all
 Order allow,deny 
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/html/stats/>
 AddHandler cgi-script .pl
 Options +ExecCGI
 DirectoryIndex index.pl
</Directory>

<Location "/billing/cards/act">
