[etc] Adding authentication to files.

Follow the steps:

1. use "htdigest" command to add user to our password file located in
/etc/httpd/users
Usage: htdigest [-c] passwordfile realm username
The -c flag creates a new file.

2. Copy the following to the directory in a file .htaccess..
AuthName "Public"  #This should be equal to realm of the user used in
htdigest
AuthType Digest
AuthDigestFile /etc/httpd/users
AuthDigestDomain Public
require user ece491   #this is the username created.
