See http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#authorization However, in 3.1.x this attribute only takes one username and password, so to index multiple restricted areas with different usernames and passwords, you still need to index each one separately and merge the databases. Yuck! In 3.2.0b4, htdig does seem to allow multiple authorization attributes in separate URL blocks, so you can probably use that if you're using 3.2.0b4. E.g.: <url: http://www.this.site.com/> authorization: joe:joespw </url> <url: http://www.that.site.com/jim/> authorization: jim:jimspw </url> <url: http://www.that.site.com/bill/> authorization: bill:billspw </url> I don't know that this has been tested before, so some feedback would be appreciated. -- Gilles R.
