Hello. I have directories: /var/www/html/project/mary /var/www/html/project/joe /var/www/html/project/john /var/www/html/project/fred . . How do I accomplish something like: <Directory /var/www/html/project/$user> AuthName "project" AuthType Basic AuthBasicProvider dbm AuthDBMUserFile whatever Require user $user </Directory> rather than having a separate <Directory> section for each user in httpd.conf ?
