Unable login into the domain stats

Issue: Unable to login into the stats of the domain (in Plesk). It is asking the password continuously.

Search for the following entry in /var/www/vhosts/domainName/conf/httpd.include:
(The file /var/www/vhosts/domainName/conf/httpd.include is actually HTTPD_VHOSTS_D/domainName/conf/httpd.include):

<Directory "/var/www/vhosts/domainName/statistics">
         AuthType Basic
         AuthName "Domain statistics"
         AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/domainName/pd/d..httpdocs@plesk-stat
         require  valid-user
</Directory>

It is in that AuthUserFile, the login name as well as the encrypted password is stored.

So adding a new user login details in that file fix the problem, and you can add it as follows.

Create the encrypted password using htpasswd command.

htpasswd -bd /var/www/vhosts/domainName/pd/d..httpdocs@plesk-stat

This will fix the issue.

Note : Replace the domainName by corresponding domain name.
