Variations on a Theme (Apache: The Definitive Guide, 3rd Edition)

5.8. Variations on a Theme

You may find that logging in again is a bit more elaborate than you would think. We found that both MSIE and Netscape were annoyingly helpful in remembering the password used for the last login and using it again. To make sure you are really exercising the security features, you have to exit your browser completely each time and reload it to get a fresh crack.

You might like to try the effect of inserting these lines in either of the previous Config files:

....
#require valid-user 
#require user daphne bill 
#require group cleaners 
#require group directors
...

and uncommenting them one line at a time (remember to kill and restart Apache each time).
