• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Scripting access to restricted directories through user email registration

cloudNiner

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 22.04
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.63 #4
I am migrating a site which uses .htaccess to restrict access to certain directories to users who register via email and get added to .htpasswd. I use PHP basic http authentication. However, it does not work with FastCGI because the user name and password are not available from $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'].

Problem description: A user provides an email and password, gets a verification code via email, and upon entering this code, gains access to the protected directories by logging in with that password.

I see that directories can be password protected through the Plesk Obsidian UI, but is there a way to script it?

Any other suggestions?
 
The Plesk Password Protected Directories can also be managed over CLI:
not sure if that is enough for what you need
