I'm testing Amazon Cloudfront on a dev environment which is protected by .htaccess/.htpasswd. The password protection on the dev server is causing all of the cloudfront.net assets to be password protected as well. And no username/password combination works (the poppin just keep asking for password again and again). I cannot remove the password protection.
I have see this other topic Amazon Cloudfront and .htaccess with the same request.
When I add this code to mine, the password protection is not displayed.
My .htaccess file:
SetEnvIf User-Agent ^Amazon Cloudfront$ cdn
ErrorDocument 401 default
AuthName "ACCESS"
AuthUserFile /var/www/html/folder/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthGroupFile None
<RequireAny>
Require valid-user
Require env cdn
</RequireAny>
<Files "healthcheckfile.html">
Allow from all
Satisfy any
</Files>To summarize I need to have a password protection on the website with .htaccess but I also need cloudfront to go through without disable the whole protection.
Do you have any ideas?
PS: I have done new tests (it works on localhost with MAMP), I have also deleted the behaviours of my CloudFront and test the solution of Amit but nothing change, the prompt doesn't show up.
