Restricting access based on an access file

[Ramesh Nadupalli <nadupalliramesh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, 

 

I have integrated apache web server with our internal LDAP and I have requirement to provision role based access to the folders in the docroot. I have earlier used SVN and we were using AuthzSVNAccessFile to meet this requirement. Contents of the file will look like this. 

 

{code}

[groups]

users = usera

admins = usera, userb

[/]

users = r

 

 

[/folderA]

admins= r

{code}

 

 

I am looking for something similar with the apache directives, is it possible? if not, can you please give us an alternate?

 

I have tried "Require ", it doesn’t solve our requirement. I am stumped with all my options, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Ramesh
