You can have multiple 'require' lines to allow multiple groups and/or users. So require group programmers require group secretaries require user joe "Require"s are OR-ed together, so anyone meeting a single criteria will get allowed in, provided they enter the correct password of course. So your check for "user is joe you need to have two separate files. hugh On Tue 14/08/12 14:30 , Ben Johnson ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sent: Hello, I've scoured the Internet for examples of how to implement logical operators where the "require" directive is concerned. The dearth of documentation and discussion regarding this subject leads me to believe that it has not been implemented, or was implemented at one time and then removed. This is the most thorough discussion I can find on the subject, which dead-ends: http://www.mombu.com/programming/linux/t-apache-22-both-require-user-and-require-group-739013.html [1]">http://www.mombu.com/programming/linux/t-apache-22-both-require-user-and-require-group-739013.html My location block, which, at present, only allows one group ("programmers"), looks something like this: AuthType Basic AuthName "SVN Repository" AuthBasicProvider dbm AuthDBMType DB AuthDBMUserFile "/var/www/apache-users" AuthDBMGroupFile "/var/www/apache-users" require group programmers DAV svn AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/www/projects/svn-access-control.cfg SVNPath /var/www/svn/project Ideally, I wish to do something like the following (I'm using pseudo-code here, because it's probably easier to understand than plain English): if ($group === 'programmers' || ($group === 'clients && $user === 'joe')) { //Allow access. } else { //Deny access. } Is this possible? Or do I need to give-up on controlling authentication at this level and instead focus on authorization within "svn-access-control.cfg"?
