I'm running Server version: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) and I'm trying to figure out how I can allow anonymous access to the files in a directory yet restrict the Directory index listing only to a few authenticated users. I know I'll probably need to use an .htaccess file with the Options –Index on the directory but how do I allow certain users to access the index?
[1.3.26 is rather old; you should upgrade] I didn't answer this the last time because it isn't really a fully-defined question. For example, what do you want to happen when unauthenticated users access the directory? Should they be served up the DirectoryIndex file (index.html)? If so, you need to find a way in the URL to differentiate between users who get the index.html and users who get the directory listing. Something like this for example: <Directory /path/to/dir> Options None </Directory> Alias /getlisting /path/to <Location /getlisting> Options Indexes Require valid-user ... </Location> Then restricted users access http://example.com/dir/ and get the index.html, while people with the right password can access http://example.com/getlisting/dir/ and get the directory listing.
