My web site has three directories: /images /css /jsThe site will have multiple clients: client1, client2..clientN, with each client having their own users.
I want to give each client their own "directory": http://www.site.com/client1 http://www.site.com/client2 http://www.site.com/clientNSince N can be very high it makes no sense to have actual physical directories with DBI Authentication in each.
I had hoped to be able to use DirectoryMatch like this: <DirectoryMatch "/www/htdocs/!(images|css|js)/(.+)$"> AuthType MyAUTH .... </DirectoryMatch>But that's not possible since /www/htdocs/client1..N doesn't actually exist and so 404 is thrown.
The options I have come up with are:1) Create an Authentication handler right in the ROOT directory which gives requests to images|css|js a 200 and all other requests are passed to Authentication handlers.
2) A custom 404 handler but I'm unsure how it would handle the Authentication unless it was itself an Authentication handler. Is this even possible?
3) A mod_rewrite monstrosity, but I'm also unsure how Authentication would be handled since Auth has to be performed on an existing resource.
Has anyone ever done something similar before? What was the direction you chose? Even the right terminology to google would be helpful...
