Hello, all - I'm looking for a way to disable Apache's ability to secure a directory using the .htaccess method of 'require valid-user'. Would it be possible to enable/disable this functionality based on an enviornment variable, for a specific user? I'm not terribly keen on Apache's conditional syntax, but I've seen directives for "Ifmodule" in the past, and I'm wondering if the same style of syntax can be used to surround a 'require valid-user' directive in Apache, to enable-disable it for specific users, on the fly.
This question doesn't make any sense to me. "Require valid-user" means require an authenticated user. How could you disable that for a specific user without first authenticating to find out who the user is? Can you explain a little more clearly what you are trying to do? Joshua. ----- The initial authentication would take place via PHP form. I understand how 'require valid-user' works, and how it's used. I figured out a way to do it, I'll re-post later on after I test a bit. I'm using PHP to use apache_setenv(), and then using IfDefine inside an .htaccess file here. It looks to be working.... like I said, I'll update you on this a bit later after I test more.
