I am trying to protect my website with a directory protection code. The website is in PHP.
My website has https and it is like https://www.example.com.
When I Open the website it is asking for username and password twice. I think it is taking once for http and once for https.
Can anyone please help me how to solve this problem.
Below is my .htaccess file code
options -multiviews <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L] </IfModule> AuthType Basic AuthName "example.com" AuthUserFile /www.example.com/web/content/.htpasswd Require valid-user <IfModule mod_security.c> # Turn off mod_security filtering. SecFilterEngine Off # The below probably isn't needed, # but better safe than sorry. SecFilterScanPOST Off </IfModule>
Thanks in advance for any help.
