Admin Part

Admin part is in blogit/backend/public/admin where it is a protected route. We have used built in apache feature to make it protected.

To do so install (in linux)

sudo apt-get apache2-utils

create a file .htpasswd where you can store username and password to that protected route

⚠️ WARNING : For security reasons, place it outside of where the browser can access, typically outside the htdocs folder.

sudo htpasswd -c /opt/lampp/.htpasswd username
# You will be prompted to type a password

create a htaccess file in a protected folder here in our case in /blogit/backend/public/admin And paste the below code.

AuthType Basic # type of authentication
AuthName "Admin Area" # name displayed on login board
AuthUserFile /opt/lampp/.htpasswd # path where password is stored
Require valid-user # only valid-user can go further

Now when you go to the route you will be prompted to give username and password Enter earlier username and password stroed in .htpasswd and you are good to go.
