Hello Matt, i did what you told me and still nothing ... maybe i didnt put the right condition in the directory stanza
<Directory /> AuthType Basic AuthName "LDAP auth realm" AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthLDAPURL ldap://localhost:389/ou=People,dc=mybox,dc=com?uid?one?(objectClass=*) AuthLDAPBindDN cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=mybox,dc=com AuthLDAPBindPassword proxy AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off require valid-user Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory> <Directory /users/public> Order Allow,Deny Satisfy Any Allow from all Options Indexes IncludesNoExec </Directory> im pretty disappointed now ... im asking myself if what i want really works? has anyone tried it? and worked on there box? cause if thats the case then all i need to do is some troubleshooting :D but if no one seen it working as i want it to work then im in big mess :( thanks again for any feedback [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Use another directory stanza in your main httpd.conf which references the subdir you want unprotecting. Perhaps .htaccess files are off - and with more than 100 directories, you should leave them off, especially if some are nested.

Server version: Apache/2.2.4 (Unix) Server built: Jul 30 2007 17:04:39 Below is my generic directory configuration i need some help as im a little lost i have put something like this in my httpd.conf file to protect all my web directory's with user/pass AuthType Basic AuthName "Secure BOX" AuthzLDAPAuthoritative On AuthLDAPURL "ldap://localhost:389/ou=People,dc=testbox,dc=com"; Require valid-user AllowOverride All And as you know, subsequently all the directories below it are protected as well. I need to keep this logic intact but UN-password protect a subdirectory "/users/public", so i would like to exclude then from authentication mechanism I have read that I could just put another .htaccess file in "/users/public" to override the password protection from the httpd.conf file. #.htaccess Order Allow,Deny Satisfy Any Allow from all I tried this but it didnt work, meaning that i was still requested for a user/pass Is there some rules/if statement that i can put? or another method that could work the way i want it? PS: i have more then 100 directory's and i dont want to put separately in each an authentication block and only in the directory/subdirectory where i want free access no authentication block Best Regards Caius Toate cele bune, Caius Polgar ################################################# #Deosebim doua tipuri de pedepse.
