This is your problem here. if both are in authoritative mode, it means (in your words) : if one fail, DONT try the other one. You need to load them both, and make the second one authoritative. The problem here is twofold: 1) there is no way to order auth modules so if you're authoritative module happens to run first, the other modules will NEVER get a chance to try 2) if there is no 'authoritative' module and auth fails (i.e. all modules return declined) apache core returns INTERNAL SERVER ERROR..... instead of UNAUTHORIZED. Until either one of the previous things change, the only workaround is to make the last auth module called the authoritative one.... that way both their authorize methods will get invoked. sterling
