Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to protect certain folders by session vars. So access should be granted if i.e. username/securitylevel is set, otherwise user should be redirected to an error page.
Anyone an idea how to solve this?

Best regards,

Stelli

Sure, if you use it like a cookie.

Put something like this in a folder and it can only be accessed by a HTTP request containing a cookie with LOGGEDIN=2047980357

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*LOGGEDIN=([0-9]+).* [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]
