Have you ever thought about setting automated API monitoring? If yes, then it is good idea to setup an open source status page as well for your APIs. This way, you can establish trust and provide a view to your clients to check how your APIs are behaving over past few days.

Update the virtual host entry, it should looks something like this: Note that AuthType , AuthName , AuthUserFile and Require are important. Make sure to remove " Require all granted " from the virtual host entry (if you have it already). Otherwise, your website will be accessible without any authentication. That's it. Restart you Apache Web Server and now you will be prompted to provide credentials when you try to access the web site. P.S. Click here to access my other posts.
