(2002.10.10, 19:22) I have stumbled over an Apache behaviour I don't understand. Please explain and advise.
I have the following lines in the Apache 1.3.23 httpd.conf: <Directory /home/user/public_html/secure> AuthType Basic AuthName "Please enter your user id and password." AuthDBUserFile /home/user/public_html/secure/controle Require valid-user </Directory> They request that Apache controls access to the said directory. I have created an entry in my DNS to point "user.blabla.ca" to my server IP address. Within the Apache configuration, the virtual server is defined this way: <VirtualHost (IP address here)> ServerName user.blabla.ca DocumentRoot /home/user/public_html UseCanonicalName off ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log combined ErrorDocument 404 /404.html </VirtualHost> When the virtual site is accessed via http://user.blabla.ca, documents in the "secure" directory are correctly controlled by the <Directory> statements. Fine. However, if the same page (and directory) is accessed via http://blabla.ca/~user, then NO authentification is done! NONE! Why? How can I circumvent this behaviour? Thanks in advance.
