Allowing Access From 1 static IP and Deny the rest

Say you want to deny access to your entire site except when you access it. The following htaccess code does just that. Instead of a Static IP you could also use a hostname, or part of a hostname..


AuthName "Site Administration"
AuthUserFile /web/user/askapache.com/.htpasswd
AuthType basic
Require valid-user
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 24.11.54.6
Satisfy Any

More information about this technique can be found in the htaccessElite.com Authentication Forum
