Hi there. I'd like to allow directory indexes for certain clients but not for others. Specifically to allow our internal network to view them but external connections to be refused. Is there some way to wrap Options [+-]Indexes within Authentication by IP address ? Thanks very much.
I don't think you're going to be able to do this, as the Options directive can only be changed within a "container" context (e.g. global config, <VirtualHost>, <Directory>, .htaccess). Since the Allow from/Deny from directives are not container objects, you can't wrap the Options directive inside of them. A solution I have used in the past to emulate this behavior is to create an index files written in a programming language like PHP or Perl and have that page generate the index listing instead of Apache. This allows you to put any security checks you like on the directory index generation.
