setup HTTP Authentication using htpasswd and htaccess

First create .htpasswd file for allowed users. You can create .htpasswd file using one of the following ways:

1. By using command line
   htpasswd [-m | -d | -s | -p] /path/to/passwdfile/ <username>
   Above command will prompt for password. Given password will be assigned to <username>
   -m : Use MD5 encryption for passwords
   -d : Use crypt() encryption for passwords
   -s : Use SHA encryption for passwords
   -p: Use plaintext passwords
2. By directly editing .htpasswd file
   open the file .htpasswd and add like username:password -> then save and close.
   This will store password in plaintext format.

Ref. URL: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/programs/htpasswd.html

Now Modify .htaccess which is placed into directory which you want to protect to refer htpasswd file as authenticated user.

Add the following in .htaccess file

AuthName “Restricted Area”
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd # full path to .htpasswd file
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user

Now whenever anyone try to access directory or sub-directories in which .htaccess file is place then browser will prompt for HTTP Authentication Popup.

Please Note: Above will only work on Linux OS.

HTACCESS useful tricks

Apache Configuration

• Apache web servers have two main places for configuration information:
  • httpd Config files (httpd.conf)
  • Per-directory .htaccess files
• Usually only the administrators of a server have access to the httpd config files. Individual users are able to place .htaccess files in their individual directories in order to override the options in the httpd config files.
• .htaccess files are reread upon every hit within that directory.

Restricted access:

1. Access for particular IP
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   allow from 203.168.130.194 #ip
2. Username/Password Protected
   
   AuthUserFile /path/to/htpasswd #FULL path to the password file
   AuthGroupFile /path/to/htgroup #FULL path to the htgroup file
   AuthName “Lee’s Secret Area” # This description will appear in the login screen
   AuthType Basic
   <Limit GET POST>
   require valid-user #for all allowed users defined in htpasswd
   require user cisco #for individual access
   require group managers  #for group access
   </Limit>

migrate SVN Repositories to another server

Make sure you have enough rights to the existing repository:

First, dump the repository using svnadmin:

svnadmin dump /path/to/your-repository-name > your-repository-name.repo

Create your new repository (if you haven’t already):

svnadmin create your-new-repository-name

Then, load it into the new repository:

svnadmin load your-new-repository-name < your-repository-name.repo

Then, in your checked out code directory, change the repository location to point to the new location:

svn switch –relocate /path/to/old-repository /path/to/new-repository

What is Amazon S3?

Amazon S3 enables you to upload, download, and store data across the Internet. You can also use the
data with other AWS(Amazon WebService) services, such as EC2, Amazon Elastic MapReduce, and Amazon Import/Export.
With Amazon S3, you can charge people who download data you make available. You can store up to
5 GB of data in one object but you can store as many objects as you like on Amazon S3. The path to
the data is a URL, which makes accessing the data easy.

The following list describes the features of Amazon S3:

1. Create Buckets—Create and name a bucket that stores data
   Buckets are the fundamental container in Amazon S3 for data storage.
2. Store Data in the Bucket—Store an infinite amount of data in a bucket
   Upload as many objects as you like into an Amazon S3 bucket. Each object can contain up to 5 GB
   of data.
3. Download Data—Download your data or enable others to
   Download your data any time you like or allow others to do the same.
4. Permissions—Grant or deny access to others who want to upload or download data into your Amazon S3 bucket
   Grant upload and download permissions to three types of users.

Key concept of Amazon S3:

Objects
Objects are the fundamental entities stored in Amazon S3. Objects consist of object data and metadata
and can range in size from 1 byte to 5 gigabytes. The data portion is opaque to Amazon S3. The
metadata is a set of name-value pairs that describe the object. The developer can specify custom
metadata and standard HTTP metadata, such as Content-Type.

Buckets
You upload objects in buckets. There is no limit to the number of objects that you can store in a bucket.
The bucket provides a unique namespace for the management of objects contained in the bucket.
Because the namespace for bucket names is global, each developer can own up to 100 buckets at a
time.
You own each bucket you create. Amazon charge you for storing objects in your buckets and for
transferring objects in and out of your buckets.

Keys
A key is the unique identifier for an object within a bucket. In simple terms, the key is the bucket’s
name. Every object has exactly one key. Together, a bucket name and a key uniquely identify an
object in Amazon S3.You can access every object in Amazon S3 by a combination of the service
endpoint, bucket name, and key. For example, in http://doc.s3.amazonaws.com/2006-03-01/
AmazonS3.wsdl, “doc” is the bucket name and “2006-03-01/AmazonS3.wsdl” is the key.
