Hi.
I have a virtual host, that is configured with ldap authentication,
and this works well. The problem is that internal calls on the server
to the virtual host now require authentication as well.

How can I excluded  localhost and selected sources from authentication
so that back-end processes don't require authentication ?

Thanks

Hi,

You might want to try "Satisfy". After the "require valid-user" directive, add the following:

Allow from 127.0.0.1

Satisfy Any

(You can add several "Allow from" before the Satisfy directive)

Documentation is here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#satisfy
