Which TWO of the following are used in configuration files to create Apache webserver user authentication? (Please select TWO that apply)

Dervla O.May 13, 2026

A and B are your correct picks. AuthUserFile points Apache to the flat file holding your hashed credentials, and AuthName sets the realm string that triggers the browser's login prompt, both being genuine Apache directives you will find in a Directory block or .htaccess file, while the other three options are invented syntax that Apache does not recognize.

The question is slightly loose because a working .htaccess block also needs AuthType Basic, but since that is not among the choices, you work with what is offered, and A and B are the only real Apache directives in the list. C tempts people who have seen INI-style configs before, but Apache does not use key-equals-value syntax like that, so eliminate it fast and confirm A (AuthUserFile) plus B (AuthName) as your two picks.

Honestly I kept circling back to E thinking "Authentication" sounded the most official, but then I pictured the actual Apache config lines I had drilled into my head with the hook "A-B-C of Apache Auth: Always Be Configuring" and A plus B clicked right in. AuthUserFile points to the password file and AuthName labels the realm, those two go hand in hand every single time.

A and B are correct. AuthUserFile points to the flat file where hashed passwords are stored, and AuthName sets the realm string that the browser shows in the login popup. Options C, D, and E are not real Apache directives, so you can eliminate them immediately just by knowing that Apache config syntax never uses equals signs or plus signs for authentication setup like that.

Does AuthUserFile point to the htpasswd file and AuthName sets the realm prompt?
