Apache-Basic Authentication How To

Hello,

I am using Apache 1.3.26 on IBM AIX

I want to implement Basic Authentication on Apache (Ref: htpasswd)

I have 2 users with their respective directories:
-----------------------------------------------------
USER NAME       HOME DIR     public_html
-----------------------------------------------------
BILL            /home/bill    /home/bill/public_html
GATES           /home/gates   /home/gates/public_html

I want to IMPLEMENT Basic Authentication for User BILL and NO Authentication for user GATES. How can I do that - is it possible to have Basic Authentication for User BILL and NO Authentication for User GATES?

This is what I have done....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Directory />
   Options +FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

#### BASIC AUTHENTICATION for USER BILL ####

<Directory /home/bill/public_html>
   Options +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +Indexes
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AllowOverride All
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "By Invitation Only"
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2003/passwd/apache_password
   Require valid-user
</Directory>

#### NO AUTHENTICATION for USER GATES ####

<Directory /home/gates/public_html>
   Options +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +Indexes
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THANKS!

Manu
