I'm having trouble with a 'nested' authorization requirement. Here's part of my httpd.conf file: cn2:/etc/apache# egrep -v '^[[:space:]]*#|^[[:space:]]*$' httpd.conf <snip> NameVirtualHost * <VirtualHost *> ServerName centernet.jhuccp.org DocumentRoot /var/www/centernet/htdocs <Directory /var/www/centernet/htdocs> <snip> AuthType Basic AuthName "JHU/CCP" AuthUserFile /var/www/centernet/users require valid-user satisfy any order deny,allow allow from 10.253.192.192/26 10.253.200.0/24 10.253.201.0/24 10.253.202.0/24 deny from all </Directory> <snip> <Directory /var/www/centernet/htdocs/staffonly> AuthType Basic AuthName "CCP Staff Only" AuthUserFile /var/www/centernet/staffonlylist require valid-user </Directory> </VirtualHost> <snip> cn2:/etc/apache# In the first part of the centernet VirtualHost section, I restrict users to either be in specific IP address ranges, or enter the password in /var/www/centernet/users. I want to put an additional restriction on viewing the files in /var/www/centernet/htdocs/staffonly/. However, when I test this from inside the specified IP address ranges, it never asks me to authenticate to view the files in /staffonly/. How should I change my config file to put additional authorization requirements on the /staffonly/ directory? Thanks in advance for all your help and suggestions. -Kevin Kevin Zembower Internet Services Group manager Center for Communication Programs Bloomberg School of Public Health Johns Hopkins University 111 Market Place, Suite 310 Baltimore, Maryland 21202 410-659-6139 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
