Apache Auto Renew SSL on Password Protected site
I have a web site that is password protected using Apache basic autenticiation.
I used following code in Apache config to password protect.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
<Directory "/var/www/html/"> AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Content" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/demo-sok-htpaswd Require valid-user </Directory> |
The problem is when SSL need auto renew, it need url like http://domain/.well-known/ to be accessable with out any password for domain ownership verification.
To allow .well-known folder to be accessable with out password, i added following code in apache configuration file.
|
1 2 3 |
<Directory "/var/www/html/.well-known/"> Require all granted </Directory> |
After restarting apache, urls startng with .well-known work with out needing any password.
