How to password protect directories outisde drupal
m.fu - March 8, 2009 - 17:23
Hi,
I have moved my website to drupal and I am very happy with it.
I also have a gallery of photo (generated with Jalbum, simple html/gif files). This gallery is privated and protected by a htaccess/htpasswd combination.
What I'd like to achieve, is that drupal update the htpasswd/htgroup when I create/delete users from within drupal. Such that, you have a username/password to log into drupal, and when you access the image gallery you have to authenticate again, but can use the same username password you used for drupal.
I cannot use the apache_mysql_auth module, it is not available from my hoster.
Thanks for you help.
Marc.
From my search in the module
From my search in the module list, what I am looking for is the equivalent of export_users_dbm
but with the htpasswd/htgroup format.
made my own module
I did not find a better solution than making my own module.
I plan to release it to the drupal community. In the mean time, contact me if you need it.
htpasswd sync released
Well, it's done, you can find the module here: http://drupal.org/project/htpasswdsync
