Restrict certain user to access only from certain IP in apache

  • 772

I need to restrict certain user from a BasicAuth configured system to come only from certain IP address but allow the rest to come from anywere.

I know that I can restrict access using Deny and Allow directives and know also how to restrict access to users using Require. But I need a mix of both and I don't have a clue.

apache-2.2 .htaccess

    You need to use the Satisfy directive. I believe it would look something like this:

    AuthUserFile /path/to/File
AuthName "Go away"
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user

Satisfy any
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.1.1

    This will block everyone except 192.168.1.1 unless they enter a password.

    If you only want to make the one IP enter the password and allow everyone else with no restrictions then it would be:

    Satisfy any
Order allow,deny
Deny from 192.168.1.1
Allow from all
