Use the MySQL monitor to grant privileges.

Start the MySQL monitor with this command:

mysql

or:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql

Your shell prompt should now look like this:
mysql>

Run this command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO USERNAME@IP IDENTIFIED BY “PASSWORD”;

USERNAME is the username that you would like to create.
IP is the public IP address of your remote connection. See examples
PASSWORD is the password you would like to use for this username.
You now must flush MySQL’s privileges. Run this command:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Run this command to exit MySQL:

exit;
 

The Restricted Access Document

The document “Restricted Information” is only available to user john with password orange and user sheri with password apple. The first time you click on “Restricted Information”, your web browser should prompt you for a user name and password. If it does not you may be using a web browser which is not HTTP authentication capable. 

Ingredients

NOTE: Please make sure you are setting this up in the directory that you want passwd protected. The .htpasswd file will end up in the wrong directory otherwise. For more infomation on how to use Unix, please check out our Unix Tutorial.

• The web document to be protected.Actually, access is restricted by directory so all files in the same directory will be protected. 
• The file .htaccess.This file should be in the directory which contains the documents to restrict access to. The contents of this file specify the name of the password file.For example if you were user jdoe with web documents in the local directory “/home/jdoe/public_html/goodstuff” that you wanted to restrict access to, your .htaccess might look like:

  AuthUserFile /home/jdoe/public_html/goodstuff/.htpasswd
AuthName jdoe_goodstuff
AuthType Basicrequire valid-user
Note that .htaccess will not work if there are extra spaces after AuthUserFile.

   

• The file .htpasswd.This file contains the passwords of the users.To create the .htpasswd file log in to this server using SSH, change directory to the directory you want to restrict access to, and type:

  htpasswd -c .htpasswd someuser

  for the first user (where someuser is the username). You will then be prompted twice for the user’s password. The -c option causes the .htpasswd file to be created. For each additional user type:

  htpasswd .htpasswd someuser

   

NOTE: There is no correspondence between the usernames and passwords used for accounts on this server and usernames and passwords in any specific .htpasswd file. A user doesn’t need to have an account on this system in order to be validated for access to files protected by HTTP-based authentication.
