The HTTP Server can be configured with many different authentication directives. The
authentication is hierarchical in that any URI can be given an authentication directive in order to
override a parent URI authentication directive.
Table 9-22 HTTP Authentication
Log Format Set the log format string for the HTTP server. Follow these Log Format rules:
 %a - remote IP address (could be a proxy)
 %b - bytes sent excluding headers
 %B - bytes sent excluding headers (0 = '-')
 %h - remote host (same as '%a')
 %{h}i - header contents from request (h = header string)
 %m - request method
 %p - ephemeral local port value used for request
 %q - query string (prepend with '?' or empty '-')
 %t - timestamp HH:MM:SS (same as Apache '%(%H:%M:%S)t' or '%(%T)t')
 %u - remote user (could be bogus for 401 status)
 %U - URL path info
 %r - first line of request (same as '%m %U%q <version>')
 %s - return status
Authentication Timeout The timeout period applies if the selected authentication type is either Digest or
SSL/Digest. After this period of inactivity, the client must authenticate again.
HTTP Authentication
Settings
Description
URI Enter the URI. The URI must begin with / to refer to the filesystem.
Authentication Type Select an HTTP authentication type. The different types offer various levels of
security, from the least to most secure:
 None: no authentication necessary
 Basic: encodes passwords using Base64
 Digest: encodes passwords using MD5
When changing the parameters of Digest authentication, it is often best to close
and reopen the browser to ensure that it does not attempt to use cached
authentication information.
There is no real reason to create an authentication directive using None unless
you want to override a parent directive that uses some other Authentication
Type.
Click Submit when URI and Authentication Type is entered to submit it.
