exclude a subdirectory from authentication request
|
|
im running an apache 2.2.4...
Server version: Apache/2.2.4 (Unix)
Server built: Jul 30 2007 17:04:39
Below is my generic directory configuration
i need some help as im a little lost
i have put something like this in my httpd.conf file to protect all my web directory's with user/pass
<Directory />
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Secure BOX"
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative On
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://localhost:389/ou=People,dc=testbox,dc=com"
Require valid-user
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
And as you know, subsequently all the directories below it are protected as well.
I need to keep this logic intact but UN-password protect a subdirectory "/users/public", so i would like to exclude then from authentication mechanism
I have read that I could just put another .htaccess file in "/users/public" to override the password protection from the httpd.conf file.
#.htaccess
Order Allow,Deny
Satisfy Any
Allow from all
I tried this but it didnt work, meaning that i was still requested for a user/pass
Is there some rules/if statement that i can put? or another method that could work the way i want it?
PS: i have more then 100 directory's and i dont want to put separately in each an authentication block and only in the directory/subdirectory where i want free access no authentication block
Best Regards
