So it sounds like there are two questions being asked. First,
what non-ldap usages are there for authnAlias and second why
doesn't the configuration below work?
I'll answer the second question first. Given the configuration
block below, I don't know why it doesn't work. I just retested the
same configuration and everything worked as expected. The only
issue that I see is setting 'AuthBasicAuthoritative off'. Since
there doesn't appear to be any other authentication type specified
(ie. digest), this directive should either be set to 'on' or
removed and left as default (which is also 'on'). The error
message that is showing up in the error_log is a result of the
default authn handler being hit as a last resort with no auth type
set as default. BTW, given the configuration below, I was also
unable to duplicate the error message even with
AuthBasicAuthoritative set to 'on' which implies that there is
probably some other auth configuration somewhere that is conflicting.
<AuthnProviderAlias file file1>
AuthUserFile /tmp/auth1
</AuthnProviderAlias>
<AuthnProviderAlias file file2>
AuthUserFile /tmp/auth2
</AuthnProviderAlias>
<Directory /usr/local/apache/vhosts/drbacchus/x>
AuthType Basic
AuthName 'wooga'
AuthBasicProvider file1 file2
Require valid-user
</Directory>
I tried this config, minus the "AuthAuthoritative" line, on a freshly-
installed server, and it operated as desired. Thanks for the assistance.
Now I need to figure out what is conflicting on the other server. But
at least I know it works. Thanks.
