Apache 2.2: Restrict access via basic authentication generally - but NOT ON a server with a specific IP or domain WITHOUT VirtualHosts

Question

Is it possible to restrict access via basic authentication generally, but not on a server that has a specific IP or domain name - without the use of virtual-hosts (and no use of Satisfy) ?

Addition: htpasswd can't be used as the solution.

Answer 1

Have you tried using a htpassword? You can restrict users at a basic level (username and password) using just a few lines. It shouldn't make a difference if your server has a dynamic IP, and you don't need virtual hosts.

This generator makes it pretty simple

I hope this is the solution you need!
