Hi!
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.
My .htaccess file:
ErrorDocument 401 default
AuthName "ACCESS"
AuthUserFile /var/www/html/folder/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthGroupFile None
<RequireAny>
Require valid-user
</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 the console prompt keep asking me for the password.
On local everything works well that's why I think the problem come from Cloudfront but maybe I'm wrong and the problem is from the ELB.
Do you have any ideas ?
