Hello there, I'm now confused about how authentication with .htaccess on Apache is implemented. Suppose that I got two directories, /home/Anderson/public_html/ and /home/A/B/, and they are all defined almost identically in httpd.conf : <Directory /home/*/public_html> Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo AuthConfig <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Limit> <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND> Order deny,allow Deny from all </LimitExcept> </Directory>
<Directory /home/A/*> (...... Same as above) </Directory> The only difference maybe is that /home/A/B is a VirtualHost(www.ABC.org). Now I am planning to authenticate my users by usernamd and password controlled by LDAP if they are not connecting with a specific IP I indicate. When I put my .htaccess under /home/Anderson/public_html/ and /home/A/B/, it seems that only the one under /home/Anderson/public_html/ works. While I try to access www.ABC.org, all of the authenticative function is invaild and users are permitted to view my page without any restriction. Here is my .htaccess : AuthName "Login or Kick Your Ass !" AuthLDAPUrl ldap://www.xxx.org/...... AuthType Basic <Limit GET POST> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 10.0.0.1 require user Arthas Thrall Jaina Satisfy any </Limit> Was there any mistake I made during my configuring or something I missed here? Anyway, thanks for the patience of your reading. Thanks, Anderson -- Trust & Unique ... Axacheng's PGP Public Key http://www.navigation.idv.tw/pgpkey
