Hello, i have strange problems to get some nested Location directives to work. What i want is: <Location ~ ^/> # Only accessible if username and password is supplied </Location> <Location ~ ^/public> # Accessible for all with no restrictions </Location> <Location ~ ^/my_soap/(api|wsdl)> # Accessible only for local machine (localhost) </Location> Can somebody please provide me the right order/deny/satisfy directives to use in the specific Location tags? Here is what i have so far and is always asking for authorization: <Location ~ ^/> Order deny,allow Deny from all AuthType Basic AuthName "authenticate" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /etc/apache2/.htgroups Require group admins Satisfy Any # WORKS </Location> <Location ~ ^/public> Allow from all Satisfy Any # FAILURE: AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED </Location> <Location ~ ^/my_soap/(api|wsdl)> Allow from .mydomain.de server1 Satisfy Any # FAILURE: AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED </Location> Thanks.
