AuthConfig Root but not certain Subdirectoies?

Is it possible?

[Poor_Knight]

On a server I have the root directory using AuthConfig, requiring a valid user. But there are certain subdirectories which I would like to not protect in this way? I cannot figure out if this is possible.

Please help - thanks a mil!

Nada?

Where is the documentation page for AuthConfig? I'm not finding it.

What Apache version are you running?

Sorry, AuthConfig is a Directive-Type for AllowOverride.

here is what I have:

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs">

AuthUserFile "/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/.htpasswd"
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authorization Required"
Require valid-user

</Directory>

This is requiring a username/password.

But say for:
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/publicOK">

I do not want the requirement for username/password.

Hope this helps better explain.

Apache version is 2.0

Ooops! I was looking for a directive of that name... :o

Something like this, maybe?

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/publicOK">
Satisfy any
Allow from all
</Directory>

Ref:
Satisfy [httpd.apache.org] (core)
Allow [httpd.apache.org] (mod_access)
