htaccess to password protect a specific server

.htaccess

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Password protect staging server
# Use one .htaccess file across multiple environments
# (e.g. local, dev, staging, production)
# but only password protect a specific environment.
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

SetEnvIf Host staging.domain.com passreq
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Required"
AuthUserFile /full/path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=passreq
Satisfy any

@loekwetzels I think you're missing the vital line in there! This password protects the server, spoofing the domain name won't get around that, you'll still need to know the password.

Hopefully this is help for my staging / development sites.

@elliotlewis - Unfortunately I think that @loekwetzels is right. If you put to your hosts file a record as he describes, then SetEnvIf Host staging.domain.com returns FALSE, so env variable won't be passreq. Because my host is omgihazaccess (from @loekwetzels example).

I think @jan-vodila and @loekwetzels are right. Probably not a good solution for anything seriously important
