Folder Access Integration Not Working

I think I have found the problem, seems that the following line is required in the .htaccess file

ErrorDocument 401 "Authorisation Required"

The 401 error response needs to be defined, this is evidently a new feature of Apache, found it in

www.ostraining.com/blog/coding/404-error-when-using-htpasswd/

Ah, thank you for your findings. It's working fine once you've added that? If so will create a bug ticket and fix for next CBSubs.

Yes, the htaccess and htpasswd protection of the folder worked as expected after the line

ErrorDocument 401 "Authorisation Required"

was added to the htaccess file. Upon clicking a link to a file in the protected folder user is prompted to enter username and password, if not correct the file does not load, if correct it does. Once established the credentials are retained until you quit the browser, not just log out or close the window. This all is as expect for htaccess file protection.

While you are looking at folder access it might be useful to be able to specify a location for htpasswd outside the directory being protected.

Thanks for your help in solving this.

Ok, thank you for your findings. Have added a bug ticket for fixing.
