Question Plesk 12.5 protect with htaccess?

[Azurel]

In Plesk I have set a htaccess protection for the admin panel. Source: https://talk.plesk.com/threads/protect-plesk-panel-11-5-with-htaccess-auth-basic.291451/#post-702210

Now after upgrade to 12.5 this not working properly. The AuthBox appear, but after click and not before and I can working in Plesk with cancel the AuthBox. Is here a workaround to fix this?

I want protect my plesk panel with a basic auth box.

Hi Azurel,

are you sure, that your described issue is not based on browser-caching? Consider to test the authentification with another browser, or delete cached content for the domain in question in your browser. If you restartet the "sw-cp-server" with your modifications, the suggestions from @MisterU still work as expected with Plesk 12.5 as well.

I will ask this again, because that protection maybe not protect anymore. Yes, the Auth-Box appear, but after x wrong login a get the plesk-login page and can submit it. Screenshot from Windows Edge. Here I never before used Plesk login and get this after x times with wrong Auth: http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161025/4zqe8wmc.png

And I get daily login errors in panel.log:
ERR [panel] [Action Log] Failed login attempt with login 'admin' from IP XX.XX.XX.XX

So I don't think that the old way from @MisterU here still correct works.
