Password Protected Directory with IP Exception

[bradz]

On Plesk 11.5 / Centos 6.5 / Linux

I normally protect a given directory in the Plesk Contral Panel with a Username / Password.
I would like to bypass the username and password for visitors from one IP.
Is this possible? How can I do this?
Thanks,
Brad

bradz,

- you can limit authenticated (user/pass) access to a site's directory: "Website -> Password Protected Directories"
- you can deny access to the site using IP restriction: "Website -> Webserver settings -> Deny access to the site"

these features are independent, so you cannot add IP exception for a protected directory

Would htaccess do it?

Thanks Alexey,

Could I do it with an htaccess file in the directory I wish to protect via password but would like an IP exception?
If yes, does anyone have example code? Brad

Hi,

Simply create the .htaccess file in the directory you want to protect.

order allow,deny
allow from 255.0.0.0
deny from all
