Sometimes we may face problem with our webmail when the spam mails generated from it changing the from ID and from server itself (127.0.0.1).
In that case we may enforce a authentication to access our webmail. Lets see how we can do it.
Step 1: Create a file:
vim /var/www/.htaccess
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Required"
AuthUserFile /var/www/webmail/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
Require user test
Save and Exit.
Step 2: Create another file:
vim /var/www/webmail/.htpasswd
Save and exit.
Step 3: Edit the following file:
vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
Change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All
Save and Exit.
Step 4: Now create the password:
htpasswd -m /var/www/webmail/.htpasswd test
New password:
Re-type new password:
Step 5: Now restart apache:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Access your webmail address now
