<H1>Module mod_auth</h1>

<strong>Syntax:</strong> AuthGroupFile <em>filename</em><br>

<Strong>Context:</strong> directory, .htaccess<br>

<Strong>Override:</strong> AuthConfig<br>

<strong>Status:</strong> Base<br>

<strong>Module:</strong> mod_auth<p>
|
|
|
|
The AuthGroupFile directive sets the name of a textual file containing the list
|
|
of user groups for user authentication. <em>Filename</em> is the absolute path
|
|
to the group file.<p>
|
|
Each line of the group file contains a groupname followed by a colon, followed
|
|
by the member usernames separated by spaces. Example:
|
|
<blockquote><code>mygroup: bob joe anne</code></blockquote>
|
|
Note that searching large groups files is <em>very</em> inefficient;
|
|
<A HREF="mod_auth_dbm.html#authdbmgroupfile">AuthDBMGroupFile</A> should
|
|
be used instead.<p>
|
|
|
|
Security: make sure that the AuthGroupFile is stored outside the
|
|
document tree of the webserver; do <em>not</em> put it in the directory that
|
|
it protects. Otherwise, clients will be able to download the AuthGroupFile.<p>

<strong>Syntax:</strong> AuthUserFile <em>filename</em><br>

<Strong>Context:</strong> directory, .htaccess<br>

<strong>Status:</strong> Base<br>

|
<strong>Module:</strong> mod_auth<p>
|
|
|
|
The AuthUserFile directive sets the name of a textual file containing the list
|
|
of users and passwords for user authentication. <em>Filename</em> is the
|
|
absolute path to the user file.<p>
|
|
Each line of the user file file contains a username followed by a colon,
|
|
followed by the crypt() encrypted password. The behaviour of multiple
|
|
occurrences of the same user is undefined.<p>
|
|
Note that searching user groups files is inefficient;
|
|
<A HREF="mod_auth_dbm.html#authdbmuserfile">AuthDBMUserFile</A> should
|
|
be used instead.<p>
