Re: per location group based authentication

Hi again, 

Apologies for the double post. The question was to set  "Require group <group-name>" for a dynamically set group-name, based on directory/location where the Require is specified.  One potential answer was to set an (environment?) variable via mod_rewrite.  That is possible of course, but it seems that using variables with Require directive is not possible.  

I appreciate any guidance on this, 

Thank you!

Thanks for the response. That seems doable, however, I wasn't able to
figure out how to use  an (environment) variable with Require
directive?  I couldn't tell that from the docs
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/en/env.html that this is in fact
possible; and if it is, how to reference the variable.
