Hi,
When discussing establishing git over Smart HTTP on pages 140 and 141:
[quote] Finally you’ll want to make writes be authenticated somehow, possibly with an Auth block like this:
<LocationMatch "^/git/.*/git-receive-pack$"> AuthType Basic 140GitWeb AuthName "Git Access" AuthUserFile /opt/git/.htpasswd Require valid-user </LocationMatch>
That will require you to create a .htaccess file containing the passwords of all the valid users. Here is an example of adding a “schacon” user to the file:
$ htdigest -c /opt/git/.htpasswd "Git Access" schacon [end quote]
This will 401 every time. You either do:
AuthType Digest and use htdigest, or you do AuthType Basic and use htpasswd
Apache recommend Basic + SSL rather than Digest.
Thanks for the book.
