libapache-mod-auth-plain for Debian
-----------------------------------


USAGE

  An example .htaccess file:

  -----BEGIN-----
  Deny from all
  AuthType basic
  AuthName "Plain htpasswd"
  AuthPlainUserFile .htpasswd
  Require valid-user
  Satisfy any
  -----END-----

  Note that AuthPlainUserFile can be relative to the directory which contains
  .htaccess file.

SECURITY

  The .htpasswd file shouldn't be readable by WWW. Be sure you use something like:
  
  <Files ~ "^\.ht">
      Order allow,deny
      Deny from all
  </Files>

  The passwords are sent by net as clear text. You should use SSL to protect
  them.
