Protecting resource on the web is something that most admin will have to do at one point or another. Whether the content is personal or under construction, there comes a time when that content must only be accessed by authorized users. The Apache web server allows two ways to achieve this purpose:
One way is placing the access rules in an external file (.htaccess) which resides directly inside the protected directory.
The other way is placing the access rules inside directory dicretives of configuration file httpd.conf or conf.d/*.conf
