Hi,

We set up an EE template with HTTP Authentication but couldn’t get it to work.

The only thing we’ve come up with is the note on this page:
http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/cp/design/templates/template_access.html

which says:

Note: If the login fails, the user will receive a 401 Not Authorized page, and not the redirect template specified in the above drop-down menu. Additionally, this ability is typically only available when PHP is run as an Apache module.

So, we checked our hosting provider who said they do not support running PHP as an Apache module for various security reasons (they use suEXEC which means it’s run as a CGI).

If that’s the problem then is there anyway we can hack EE to allow us to solve the problem of authenticating templates on our web site?

Thanks
Kay

What version and build of EE are you using? What problem, exactly, are you having, where?

I think we can close this query as it’s for EE2.
