Hi, I want to check 2 things here regarding 'require' keyword. I have this directive: <Location /svn/ABC/XYZ> DAV svn SVNParentPath /jupiter/export/ABC/XYZ/ AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthLDAPUrl ldap://.... <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT> Require valid-user </LimitExcept> AuthType Basic AuthName "Please enter your credentials" .... </Location> Now if I want to restrict a directoy under XYZ: /svn/ABC/XYZ/123 and give access to specific ldap users, should I proceed this way: create a new directive: <Location /svn/ABC/XYZ/123> DAV svn SVNParentPath /jupiter/export/ABC/XYZ/123 AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthLDAPUrl ldap://.... <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT> Require valid-user <--- change here to Require followed by the ldap username. Repeat this for all users </LimitExcept> AuthType Basic AuthName "Please enter your credentials" .... </Location> Let me know if this is true. Also, this requires a graceful restart so I need to know whether having an external file can replace the require keyword and the restart. thank you --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
