Dear list, I would like to get your thoughts on how to implement the following use case: We wish to control access to certain URLs based upon some authorisation scheme (don't worry the question is not about how we set up the authorisation directives themselves:)) however these URLs fall under the namespace normally serviced by an external application via JkMount. e.g.: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName repository.example.com DocumentRoot "/opt/www/data/repository.example.com" # Contains no files <Directory "opt/www/data/repository.example.com"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> JkMount / ajp13_worker JkMount /* ajp13_worker ... </VirtualHost> I would like to apply authentication and authorisation to certain paths that fall within this virtual host. i.e.: Access to the this URL should just be passed on to ajp13 worker and thus the external Tomcat application to handle: http://repository.example.com/com/foo/bar/readme.txt Where as these URLs should be challenged by Apache authnz before being passed onto ajp and Tomcat http://repository.example.com/com/foo/private-readme.txt http://repository.example.com/com/foo/secret/also-private.txt Is this possible? Has anyone any suggestions how we might be able to achieve this? Thanks for the thinking time!
