>Description:
I have a number of directories I need to protect. 1 protection configuration
works and the others do not.
The following configuration works as expected - only users with
password in .htpasswd file can access the directory.
# directory secured with .htaccess within directory
<Directory /home/httpd/html/prot>
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /etc/httpd/conf/.htgroup
AuthName Password
AuthType Basic
require group all-the-users
<Limit GET PUT POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from twpo.com.au, defence.gov.au
</Limit>
</Directory>
The following protection config does not work.
<Directory /home/httpd/html/SLF/weekly-files/pp>
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/.slf-man-pp
AuthGroupFile /etc/httpd/conf/.slf-managers
AuthName Password
AuthType Basic
require group all-the-managers
<Limit GET PUT POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from twpo.com.au, defence.gov.au
</Limit>
</Directory>
The only difference I can determine is that the second one is not in
the root of the server - however a move to root does not fix it.
The error log does not report anything, an incorrect passwd however is
reported. The user puts in passwd after user name and gets an
"Authorisation Failed - Retry?" message.
I have tried just about all different configs, using Files, Location but
all fail.
Any help appreciated
>How-To-Repeat:
www.twpo.com.au/prot/times.html - works OK
www.twpo.com.au/SLF/weekly-files/pp/p1_02pp.html - fails
I will create a user apache, passwd apache
