How can I create a virtual directory (alias) in apache, mapped to a physical directory on another machine in the local net, as I can map in IIS, for example: \\172.xx.xx.xx\d$\temp. In IIS defining of such a directory requires filling of domain, username and password (when defining or when trying to open it). In apache I cannot find the way to define this and when I try to connect this virtual directory I get an error of "access forbidden".
Thanks,
Valentina
