Dear Apache community, we just wonder why when using the following configuration: # allow using the "/" directory of this virtual host by all <Location /> Require all granted </Location> Alias /fslogs /opt/wcms/fs4/log <Directory /opt/wcms/fs4/log> IndexIgnore .. fs4.pid fs-wrapper.log fs-gc.log IndexOptions +FancyIndexing Options +Indexes AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted access" AuthBasicProvider file AuthUserFile /tmp/passwd Require valid-user </Directory> the default handling of overwriting access directives in sub contexts does not work properly (AuthMerging off). Might it be due to the two directives "Location" and "Directory"? We expected that for "/opt/wcms/fs4/log" just authenticated and valid users should have access. So, access should be limited. Instead we see that everybody can browse the directory.
