Hi!

I've the following problem:

I want to restrict acess to my server an a password
basis. This is simple: I use the basic authentification
mechanism for this.

Now comes the hard part:
I'd like to access my server from one host WITHOUT
any password.

This is a part of my standard httpd.conf file:
<Directory "C:/Programme/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthName "restricted stuff"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /programme/apache~1/apache/passwd
require valid-user
</Directory>

I tried to set up a second <directory> directive which
allows everything for this special host, but I still
get the password box popping up.

I use: Apache 1.3.9

Thanks for help.
Stefan.

Hi there,

you have to add satisfy with a value (any or all)
In your case it would be any because you want,

If
request from "any" within .localdomain
then no need for http auth.
else
require http auth
end

So it would look like this:

<Directory "C:/Programme/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs">
Order allow,deny
Allow from .localdomain
AuthName "restricted stuff"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /programme/apache~1/apache/passwd
require valid-user
satisfy any
</Directory>
