[users@httpd] Deny,Allow on an Apache proxy server

"S.A. Birl" <sbirl+Apache-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> · Tue, 15 Mar 2005 16:18:45 -0500 (EST)

Using Apache 2.0.48 as both a regular and proxy server.

I am proxy'ing (forwards and backwards) a website, /mis, to an IIS server.
A request came in to IP restrict a specific folder under mis called files.

Originally, I set the IP restriction on the IIS server, forgetting that
the proxy was allowed to connect.  Therefore I need to set the same
restriction in httpd.conf

In httpd.conf I have

<Directory ~ "*/mis/files/*">
        Order Deny,Allow
        Deny from All
</Directory>

located before the proxy definitions.  However, when I attempt to view the
URL, the restriction is not in effect.

I saw nothing in the error log and 'apachectl configtest' was OK.

What's the proper way of IP-restricting this folder from Apache?

Thanks.
Birl
