Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by noodl: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Recipes/MultiUserFiles The comment on the change is: Mini how-to on using authn_alias to query mutliple AuthUserFiles per request. New page: = How to use more than one AuthUserFile per context = Apache 2.2 has a module called [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authn_alias.html mod_authn_alias] which can be used to query multiple authentication sources in a single context. The scenario here is: * {{{htpasswd}}} has been used to create two separate password files * Any user in these files may access a given URL There are other approaches to this problem like merging the separate files together, perhaps as part of the Apache init script. Otherwise one might use AuthGroupFile and list all users from both files. These are troublesome though as in the first case the Apache init script might be overwritten during an upgrade and the second case is just tedious. {{{ <AuthnProviderAlias file file1> AuthUserFile conf/file1.passwd </AuthnProviderAlias> <AuthnProviderAlias file file2> AuthUserFile conf/file2.passwd </AuthnProviderAlias> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName example.org DocumentRoot /var/www/example.org <Location /> AuthBasicProvider file1 file2 AuthName 'Area Restricted by mod_authn_alias' AuthType basic Require valid-user </Location> </VirtualHost> }}}
