-<h3>Summary</h3>
-
- <p>This module allows the use of HTTP Basic Authentication to
- restrict access by looking up users in plain text password and
- group files. Similar functionality and greater scalability is
- provided by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_dbm.html">mod_auth_dbm</a></code>. HTTP Digest
- Authentication is provided by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code>.</p>

- <p>Setting the <code class="directive">AuthAuthoritative</code> directive
- explicitly to <code>Off</code> allows for both authentication and
- authorization to be passed on to lower level modules (as defined in the
- <code>modules.c</code> files) if there is <strong>no userID</strong>
- or <strong>rule</strong> matching the supplied userID. If there is a
- userID and/or rule specified; the usual password and access checks
- will be applied and a failure will give an "Authentication Required"
- reply.</p>
-
- <p>So if a userID appears in the database of more than one module;
- or if a valid <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#require">Require</a></code>
- directive applies to more than one module; then the first module
- will verify the credentials; and no access is passed on;
- regardless of the <code class="directive">AuthAuthoritative</code> setting.</p>
-
- <p>A common use for this is in conjunction with one of the
- database modules; such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_dbm.html">mod_auth_dbm</a></code>,
- <code>mod_auth_msql</code>, and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_anon.html">mod_auth_anon</a></code>.
- These modules supply the bulk of the user credential checking; but
- a few (administrator) related accesses fall through to a lower
- level with a well protected <code class="directive"><a href="#authuserfile">AuthUserFile</a></code>.</p>
-
- <p>By default control is not passed on and an unknown userID or
- rule will result in an "Authentication Required" reply. Not setting
- it thus keeps the system secure and forces an NCSA compliant
- behaviour.</p>
-
- <div class="warning"><h3>Security</h3>
- <p>Do consider the implications of allowing a user to allow
- fall-through in his .htaccess file; and verify that this is really
- what you want; Generally it is easier to just secure a single
- .htpasswd file, than it is to secure a database such as mSQL.
- Make sure that the <code class="directive"><a href="#authuserfile">AuthUserFile</a></code> and the <code class="directive"><a href="#authgroupfile">AuthGroupFile</a></code> are stored outside the document tree of
- the web-server; do <em>not</em> put them in the directory that they
- protect. Otherwise, clients will be able to download the <code class="directive"><a href="#authuserfile">AuthUserFile</a></code> and the <code class="directive"><a href="#authgroupfile">AuthGroupFile</a></code>.</p>

- <p>The <code class="directive">AuthGroupFile</code> directive sets the

- file. If it is not absolute, it is treated as relative to the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code>.</p>

- <p>The <code class="directive">AuthUserFile</code> directive sets the name
- of a textual file containing the list of users and passwords for

- ID is defined multiple times, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth.html">mod_auth</a></code> will
- use the first occurrence to verify the password.</p>

- which is installed as part of the binary distribution, or which
- can be found in <code>src/support</code>, is used to maintain
- this password file. See the <a href="../programs/htpasswd.html">man
- page</a> for more details. In short:</p>
-
- <p>Create a password file <code>Filename</code> with
- <code>username</code> as the initial ID. It will prompt for the
- password:</p>
-
- <div class="example"><p><code>
- htpasswd -c Filename username
- </code></p></div>
-
