Topic: Same content via multiple authentication methods

[turncol]

Hi All,

Another Apache Newbie here!

I am putting together an Apache server to test updating a windows application via the various authentication methods.

My current setup requires three copies of the data for each of the authentication methods (No Auth, Basic & Digest) However this is a pain trying to keep upto date and using up a lot of disk space!

Would it be possible to have one directory containing the data but accessed from 3 different sites\auth methods using virtual hosts or any other alternative method?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

You could try alias an location to use different methods. I haven't tried that out, but maybe it works for you.

Alias /auth/ "c:/apache/htdocs/auth"

<Location /auth>
AuthUserFile C:/apache/passwd
AuthName "Secure"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST PUT>
require valid-user
</Limit>
</Location>

I managed to get it sorted using an alias and a some virtual hosts. Took a wee bit of time but I got there in the end!!

Thanks
