Something like this: <Directory /export/home> ... require valid-user </Directory> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} (.+) RewriteRule ^/(.*) /export/home/%1/$1 This actually hides the users' directory name, which may or not be what you want. Also be careful about what happens if REMOTE_USER is empty.
