mod_rewite

Hi,

I have a query on mod_rewite/apache/.htaccess

It is like this:
Suppose a company have a website www.abc.com,when a user types in this URL in his browser he should get a login and passwd prompt say he enters username as user1 and some passwd, upon successful authentication he should get redirected to another url www.abc.com/user1...similary for user2 and user3...
mod_rewite is loaded htpsd.conf has "rewrite engine on" directive enabled...Could someone help me with the rewite rule? Or is any other change required?

Hi,

You can use a .htaccess in the DocumentRoot of your server, like this:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^[a-z].*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^/* /%{REMOTE_USER}

If you don't want to use .htaccess, replace %{REMOTE_USER} with %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} in httpd.conf
