Problems making exceptions to Apache authentication

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi.

I'm applying some authentication across all of a site site using the following:

<Location "/*">
         AuthName "NAME"
         AuthType Basic
         AuthUserFile /usr/local/www/.htpasswd
         AuthGroupFile /dev/null
         require user USER
</Location>

However, there is one specific URL pattern that I need to make an exception for. This seems like it should be a simple thing but I can't find any ways of doing this within a Location directive. I can't use a Directory directive (for which there _would_ be ways of getting around this, e.g. using Satisfy combined with host access, or making exceptions with a Files directive) because dynamic content needs to be included, and our dynamic content is sent to JBoss over mod_jk and none of this dynamic content gets authenticated if I use a Directory directive, which makes the whole thing useless.

I've really been struggling with this for some time now and would very much appreciate any input.

Many thanks.

Matt.
