Apache 2.4.18 on Windows - Expression in AuthName not working

Thibault Roche <thibault.roche@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> · Fri, 22 Jan 2016 15:21:15 +0100

Hey guys,

I am trying to use an expression in the AuthName directive. The doc 

states that it should be working with version > 2.4.13 :

[https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/mod/mod_authn_core.html#authname]

From 2.4.13, expression syntax can be used inside the directive to 

produce the name dynamically.

But I can not make it work. I have this in my configuration :
<Directory "C:/Users/troche/Documents/opx2/perso/">
	Options Indexes
	IndexOptions FancyIndexing foldersfirst -IconsAreLinks
	AuthType Basic
	AuthName "%{HTTP_HOST}"
	AuthUserFile "C:\Dev\Apache24\conf\passwords"
	Require valid-user	
</Directory>

And the authentication popup just says "%{HTTP_HOST}".

I also tried to remove the "" around %{HTTP_HOST} but I have the same 

result.

Any idea what I am doing wrong ? Is it a bug ? Has anyone been able to 

make it work ?

Thanks,
