Re: exclude a subdirectory from authentication request

[Caius <caiuspolgar@xxxxxxxxx>]

problem solved, it works with this configuration

<Directory />
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "LDAP auth realm"
   AuthBasicProvider ldap
   AuthLDAPURL ldap://localhost:389/ou=People,dc=mybox,dc=com?uid?one?(objectClass=*)
   AuthLDAPBindDN cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=mybox,dc=com
   AuthLDAPBindPassword proxy
   AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
   require valid-user
   Options FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>

<Directory /users/public>
Satisfy Any
   Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
</Directory>

Alias   /public                  /users/public

BR,

Hello Matt,
i did what you told me and still nothing ... maybe i didnt put the right condition in the directory stanza

<Directory />
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "LDAP auth realm"
   AuthBasicProvider ldap
   AuthLDAPURL ldap://localhost:389/ou=People,dc=mybox,dc=com?uid?one?(objectClass=*)
   AuthLDAPBindDN cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=mybox,dc=com
   AuthLDAPBindPassword proxy
   AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
   require valid-user
   Options FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
</Directory>

<Directory /users/public>
Order Allow,Deny
Satisfy Any
Allow from all
Options Indexes IncludesNoExec
</Directory>

cause if thats the case then all i need to do is some troubleshooting :D
but if no one seen it working as i want it to work then im in big mess :(

thanks again for any feedback

Use another directory stanza in your main httpd.conf which references the subdir you want unprotecting.
Perhaps .htaccess files are off - and with more than 100 directories, you should leave them off, especially if some are nested.

Subject: exclude a subdirectory from authentication request

im running an apache 2.2.4...
Server version: Apache/2.2.4 (Unix)
Server built:   Jul 30 2007 17:04:39

Below is my generic directory configuration
i need some help as im a little lost

i have put something like this in my httpd.conf file to protect all my web directory's with user/pass


AuthType Basic
AuthName "Secure BOX"
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative On
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://localhost:389/ou=People,dc=testbox,dc=com"
Require valid-user
AllowOverride All


And as you know, subsequently all the directories below it are protected as well.
I need to keep this logic intact but UN-password protect a subdirectory "/users/public", so i would like to exclude then from authentication mechanism

I have read that I could just put another .htaccess file in "/users/public" to override the password protection from the httpd.conf file.

#.htaccess
Order Allow,Deny
Satisfy Any
Allow from all

I tried this but it didnt work, meaning that i was still requested for a user/pass

Is there some rules/if statement that i can put? or another method that could work the way i want it?

PS: i have more then 100 directory's and i dont want to put separately in each an authentication block and only in the directory/subdirectory where i want free access no authentication block
