I have changed the configuration between 2.2 and 2.4, but the following definition with require valid-user should work.
AuthType Basic AuthName "Icinga Access3" AuthBasicProvider file AuthUserFile /etc/icinga/htpasswd.users Require user kornexl ...... #Require valid-user If i uncomment the valid-user and comment the above "require user" line the error occours Both require directives come from authz_core. All users in htpasswd.users get authorized if listed in the "require user" line, but noone is authorized with only "require valid-user" active.
