Apache configuration - DirectoryMatch directive: Error in regex evaluation (Apache Users)

Dear all,

I am using Apache/2.4.10 (Debian). Following the Apache documentation, I am trying to configure my server using DirectoryMatch. I get the expected behavior concerning the directories I want to handle (only user whose name is the same as the directory name can access to the directory). However I cannot access to the parent directory ("/var/www/html/webdav/directories/” in the example below) getting an “401 Unauthorized”. Changing the dynamic ldap user “%{env:MATCH_DIRECTORYNAME}” by a specific user allows me to access to "/var/www/html/webdav/directories/”. It seems to me that "/var/www/html/webdav/directories/” matches the regex I defined which should not be the case ! I have added “[a-z]” to be sure not to match the regex but it does not solve my problem.

Please find below my configuration:

Dav On

AuthName "Authentication required"

AuthType Basic

AuthBasicProvider ldap

AuthLDAPURL <url>

Require ldap-user %{env:MATCH_DIRECTORYNAME}

</Limit>

</DirectoryMatch>

Any hints welcome,

Thanks in advance,

Fanny
