Hi,

I've been trying to get an htaccess authentication to work on the secured server.  It works intermittent at best.  The htaccess and htpassword files are both in the directory that I want to password protect.


Here is my code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} folder
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.tld/folder/$1 [R,L]

AuthUserFile /path/to/password/file/.htpasswd_file
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Log in Please"
require user username


It allows me to authenticate, however sometimes it is HTTP and other times it is HTTPS.

I need it to be HTTPS all the time.

Thank you for all your guidance!

Keith
