Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Maybe I'm missing something, but I was able to use the webauth module without issue but can't seem to get the http authentication module to do much of anything. Does this module rely on a .htaccess style pop-up or does it use standard internal drupal authentication forms?
I'm using the 1.0 branch of the httpauth module and a clean install of drupal 4.7.4 with clean URLs enabled.

decafdennis commentedNo there is no documentation yet, this is being worked on.
You can try out httpauth by enabling the module and going to administer > settings > httpauth. From there on it is quite self-explanatory. "Enable HTTP authentication" enables or disables the module's functionality. Enter "admin" in the "Promote HTTP authentication on pages" text area, for example. Save the configuration, and logout of Drupal. Then attempt to go to /admin on your site, and voilà it should ask you for your username and password using a ".htaccess style popup" (unless you've given administer site permissions to anonymous users).
The webserver_auth module (if you referring to that one) only respects whatever authentication you set yourself in .htaccess. However, the httpauth module will take care of everything without using .htaccess files and should even work (untested) in IIS/Windows.
