I'm trying to setup a domain that uses Basic Auth for everything
but a few items, and no auth for them. I'd like the mod_dir
DirectoryIndex to work for DocumentRoot, but any other page to
require a valid-user.
The goal is to return instructions at the DocumentRoot, but
require auth for any guessed url, existing or not. So people
cannot determine if a url exists by checking for 401 vs 404
errors, even if they cannot access the content. In addition to the
index.html (not auto indexing of course), there are a few other
directories that I need unprotected.
My most recent attempt to config...
<Directory />
Options -Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthType Basic
AuthName "files"
Require valid-user
</Directory>
<Location /account1>
AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/apache2/ht/account1
<Location>
But that has problems; AuthUserFile does not exists for
DocumentRoot and I cannot figure out how to selectively add back
Allow to a component, DocumentRoot or a location container (there
are many).
I need something that will error 401 for anything (existing or
not), with a few exceptions like /template/, /errordoc/ and /,
which should all serve without auth, or error. And, of course,
allow for location containers with unique AuthUserFiles. Is that
possible?
