In order to verify this bug we installed a new ubuntu 14.04 server including apache 2.4.7 i.e. no configuration update necessary.
And indeed the following configuration works as expected: AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Files" AuthBasicProvider file AuthUserFile /path/to/file/.htpasswd require valid-user The problem mentioned above (i.e. no access to the restricted ressource despite using the appropriate credentials) only occurs when mod_shib is enabled. So far so good but we need mod_shib. I will try to get some more information from our shibboleth specialists. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1358284 Title: apache 2.4.7 does not respect valid-user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/1358284/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
