Securing custom CGI behind TWiki authentication

Asked by phavardel in Linux Network Security, CGI Scripting, WebApplications

Tags: ,

Hey all,

Sorry for asking this question, but I've been sort of dumped into this thanks to an local admin who's less than helpful. Even a link to proper information would help - I've searched the docs but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Simply, I've made a small group of CGI files, interfacing with a mysql db on the server. Right now they're located in a cgiwrap folder where I've been doing development. But, they are directly accessible through the URL bar. We need them to be within (and behind the security of) TWiki. What do I need to add to .htaccess so that any attempt to view these pages will force the user to login?

Any advice would be appreciated.
