Neat!

I was looking to set up .htaccess on Leopard server, and as I was testing the .htpasswd file I set up for the user (myself), I tried the wrong password and it let me in! It turns out I had used my regular password that's set up through Open Directory. So I deleted the .htpasswd file, and I removed all references to it in the .htaccess file to further test. This is the resulting .htaccess file:

AuthName "Server Access"
AuthType Digest
require valid-user

Just by using the above .htaccess file, I am able to login with any user that has an Open Directory account. Nice treat, for me anyway. I'm guessing others will have to add restrictions for users they don't want to have access.

[robg adds: I have no way of testing this one...]
