Title Body

i'm fairly new to django and just trying a couple simple experiments to get my feet wet. i'm running django 1.0, apache2 prefork and mod_wsgi. I'm trying to build a site with the following url structure / /members /admin the root is basically a public area. the members path should be protected using basic-authentication (probably authenticated by apache) the admin path should be protected using the built in django authentication. following the examples in documentation i can basically protect the entire site with basic authentication, but that's not what i want. except from virtual host config: WSGIScriptAlias / /django/rc/apache/django.wsgi <Directory /django/rc/apache> AuthType Basic AuthName "Authentication Required" AuthUserFile "/django/_HTPASSWD/.htpasswd" Require valid-user # Order allow,deny # Allow from all </Directory> Can anyone help point me in the right direction (or flat out tell me =P) on how to make this possible? thanks edit: after playing around a little i discovered i can do something like: WSGIScriptAlias / /django/rc/apache/django.wsgi <Directory /django/rc/apache> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> WSGIScriptAlias /members /django/rc/apache_httpauth/django.wsgi <Directory /django/rc/apache_httpauth> AuthType Basic AuthName "Authentication Required" AuthUserFile "/django/_HTPASSWD/.htpasswd" Require valid-user </Directory> The django.wsgi file is basically the same file copied into another directory so that the WSGIScriptAlias is different. It's hack-ish but it works.. Is there a better way to do what i'd like? Are there any downsides to doing it like this? thanks
