Hello, AuthName directive: "This directive sets the name of the authorization realm for a directory. This realm is given to the client so that the user knows which username and password to send." I know how AuthName works in practise, but can someone please explain what an "authorization realm" is? I take it it is not the same as a directory? -anonymous --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
