>From the DOCS (you don't say what version you are running). Does this help ? Removing controls in subdirectories The following example shows how to use the Satisfy directive to disable access controls in a subdirectory of a protected directory. This technique should be used with caution, because it will also disable any access controls imposed by mod_authz_host. <Directory /path/to/protected/> Require user david </Directory> <Directory /path/to/protected/unprotected> # All access controls and authentication are disabled # in this directory Satisfy Any Allow from all </Directory> Luis Moreira Analista E.

So I've added something like <directory /> AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthType basic ... </directory> which works just fine. However, now I would like to disable authentication for a sub-folder so anyone can see it. I haven't found an easy to turn off authentication for a specific folder if the parent folder requires authentication. I'm sure this is something that can be easily done. But I haven't found my way around the documentation this time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
