HI @kiran I did all the steps but im able to access it without mentioning the username n password. What might have I done wrong? Pls help.
Hi @akshayyw and all geeks
hope below steps might help you, i followed exactly as below and was able to succeed.
make sure you do these steps in all 3 app servers
step1:
yum --enablerepo=epel -y install mod_authnz_external pwauth
step2: vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/authnz_external.conf
and add below details in this conf file
<Directory /var/www/html/protected>
AuthType Basic
AuthName “PAM Authentication”
AuthBasicProvider external
AuthExternal pwauth
require valid-user
step3: mkdir -p /var/www/html/protected
vi /var/www/html/protected.index.html
you should see below content
step4: systemctl restart httpd
step5: curl -u username:password http:/localhost:8080/protected
you will get some reply in the shell sorry i missed to snip it.
step6: verify it by following step “d” in the question.
once you enter port 80 the page will open as test page, then enter /protected at an end in the url to open sub page. when this /protected page opens it asks for username and password.
Post giving correct credentials you will see the required page.
Let me know if it is worth for you all.

Yogendra
