Hello there, 

    I'm now confused about how authentication with .htaccess on Apache is 
implemented. Suppose that I got two directories, /home/Anderson/public_html/ 
and /home/A/B/, and they are all defined almost identically in httpd.conf :
    
    <Directory /home/*/public_html>
      Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
      AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo AuthConfig
      <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
      </Limit>
      <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
      </LimitExcept>
    </Directory>

    <Directory /home/A/*>
      (...... Same as above)
    </Directory>

    The only difference maybe is that /home/A/B is a VirtualHost(www.ABC.org). 
Now I am planning to authenticate my users by usernamd and password controlled 
by LDAP if they are not connecting with a specific IP I indicate. When I put my 
.htaccess under /home/Anderson/public_html/ and /home/A/B/, it seems that only 
the one under /home/Anderson/public_html/ works. While I try to access 
www.ABC.org, all of the authenticative function is invaild and users are 
permitted to view my page without any restriction. Here is my .htaccess :

    AuthName "Login or Kick Your Ass !"
    AuthLDAPUrl ldap://www.xxx.org/......
    AuthType Basic
     
    <Limit GET POST>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 10.0.0.1
    require user Arthas Thrall Jaina
    Satisfy any
    </Limit>
     
   Was there any mistake I made during my configuring or something I missed 
here? Anyway, thanks for the patience of your reading.

Thanks,
Anderson
