Enabling basic authentication

Run the following command:

apt -y install apache2-utils

Create a user account that has access to the server. Enter the following details:

htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/.htpasswd <username>
                New password:     
                Re-type new password:
                Adding password for user <username>

Go to directory

cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

In nano openxpki.conf
, add the following lines in

#HTTPS BASIC AUTH FOR LABELS
Location /.well-known/est/*/simpleenroll
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "estrealm"
    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
    require valid-user
    </Location>
    #HTTPS BASIC AUTH FOR NO LABEL
    <Location /.well-known/est/simpleenroll>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "estrealm"
    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
    require valid-user
    </Location>

Add

ErrorDocument 401 %{unescape:%00}

before SSLEngine
in the same virtual Host block.

Example

ServerAlias *
DocumentRoot /var/www/
ErrorDocument 401 %{unescape:%00}
SSLEngine On

Restart the apache2 service
using service apache2 restart
.

Basic authentication works using the above user name and password.
