Basic authentication question.
I am running several virtual hosts. One of them is controlled by basic
authorisation. However its top level directory is not - to allow sign ups. So we have FOO - is the doc root and has an intro and a sign up page FOO/BAR and below is controlled. This all works fine. Now the site in question is for ex employees of a company and some find the top page via a web search and all is fine. Some are given the site address by existing members. However, in the latter case they are often given <site>/BAR (which is what existing members often use) instead of <site> and are promptly asked for an id & password they have not yet set up. 1) can I control the number of login attempts made? 2) can I then put out a page when 1) is exceeded? TIA -- Regards Dave Saville NB Remove -nospam for good email address |

It is upto 'User agent' to decide when to stop asking for password. For e.g. I.E. stops after 3 attempts, but Netscape won'tt. > > 2) can I then put out a page when 1) is exceeded? Yes. You can change ErrorDocument for Error code 401.
