Maybe, I'm missing something. I was talking about needing to change apache, but I decided to try something else.
I've got this: <FilesMatch ".*[^(login.php|logout.php)]"> AuthType Digest AuthName "account" AuthUserFile /home/path/public_html/account/.htpasswd Require user admin </FilesMatch> <Files login.php> AuthType Digest AuthName "account" AuthUserFile /home/path/public_html/account/.htpasswd Require user admin </Files> <Files logout.php> AuthType Digest AuthName "account" AuthUserFile /home/path/public_html/account/.htpasswd Require user logout </Files> I access login.php and have access to the entire directory which via ajax. Then I access logout.php and have access to logout.php, but nothing else. Good. Next, time I try to access login.php using Safari and ajax with the right creditials, I get a popup with login user name filled out. Am I mistaken in thinking I should not be logged in as admin? Or that there is someway to force this to happen? Michele
