First, the directive "require user" fits not only a single user, but a list, too Doing just Require user Manuel Vacelet Admin Power Will validate 4 users, Manuel, Vacelet, Admin and Power HOWEVER, 1) Location applies to contents outside the file system 2) Otherwise you can use Directory directive 3) Maybe you have a set of permissions that supersede this one, giving access to ALL to a higher-level directory ??

Here is my objectives: - I want to authenticate user against a file. - I want to restrict a list of users to access to a Location. - I have 3rd party authorization (AuthzSvnAccessFile) that may restrict again the browsing. And now my problem: - I can restrict access to Location to the list of people in my file with a 'Require valid-user'. - But I cannot restrict access to a list of people with 'Require user' Here the example of config: ----------------------------->8----------------------------- <Location /svnroot/code> DAV svn SVNPath /var/lib/codex/svnroot/code AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion Authorization" AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/htpasswd Require user manuel AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/lib/svnroot/code/.SVNAccessFile </Location> ----------------------------->8----------------------------- Even if I don't authenticate as 'manuel' account I can browse my repository FYI svnaccessfile is: ----------------------------->8----------------------------- @member=manuel, john [/] * = r @members = rw ----------------------------->8----------------------------- Can anyone explain to me what happens ?
