Hi all, I would appreciate any suggetions on how to achieve the following: I have a large number of per-user directories: /var/www/user1 /var/www/user2 /var/www/user3 ... And a htdigest file containing usernames and passwords for all of these users. I want to set up authentication for each user to access just their own directory. The obvious method is to have a very long Apache config file, with "Require user1", "Require user2", etc. specified manually for each directory. However, I have a lot of users! Is there some clever way around this, for example a way to do: Require <auth_username=root_directory_name> Or alternatively, a way for me to have "Require valid-user", but then somehow prevent users from accessing directories other than their own? (even with a hack like rewrite rules?) Thanks for any pointers, Richard. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
