allow HTTP AUTHENTICATION for PHP - bitnami lampstack

Question

I have an amazon aws server. I have installed bitnami lampstack to run site. My php version is 7.0.18.

I want to allow the HTTP AUTHENTICATION for PHP for a payment notificaiton. My server api is apache 2.0 handler. I am not able to get an idea that how http authentication would work.

Can any one please help me that what it is and how i can enable it. By the way my site is in magento 2.

Bitnami Developer here,

Based on https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/components/apache/#how-to-create-a-password-to-protect-access-to-an-application, you should edit the /opt/bitnami/apps/magento/conf/httpd-app.conf in your instance. This is an example:

<Directory "/opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/htdocs">
  ...
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName MyAuthName
    AuthUserFile "/opt/bitnami/apache2/APPNAME_users"
    Require valid-user
  ...  

  <IfVersion >= 2.3>
  # Require all granted
  </IfVersion>
  ...
</Directory>

Another option would be editing /opt/bitnami/apps/magento/conf/htaccess.conf.

After adapting the configuration to your needs, restart Apache:

sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
