Inhereted authentication.

[Sewug]

I have a virtual host set up that has been used for Subversion repositories via WebDAV. This has been secured using basic authentication and has worked well for a while. I am now in the position where I need to have a location below root that will contain some php management scripts for the site (to allow the setting up of accounts etc.). I appear to be having some trouble in formulating a way to create an area that can be accessed and does not need authentication, off the root of the site. Below is an attempt to add a /test below root, however I keep getting a 403. I'm not even sure if this is possible. Does anyone have any pointers as to what I need to do, or is it a case of needing to reorganise the structure (causing the users some disruption)?

 

<VirtualHost *:443>

    ServerAdmin info@example.org

    ServerName example.org:443

    ErrorLog logs/ssl_error.log

    TransferLog logs/ssl_access.log

 

    SSLEngine on

    SSLProtocol all -SSLv2

    SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!MD5:!eNULL

 

    SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl.cert/example.org.cert

    SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl.key/example.org.key

    SSLCACertificatePath conf/ssl.cert

    SSLCARevocationPath conf/ssl.crl

 

    DocumentRoot "/var/svn/website/htdocs"

    <Location "/test">

      AllowOverride None

      Options -Indexes

      Order allow,deny

      Allow from all

    </Location>

    <Location />

        DAV svn

        SVNParentPath "/var/svn/repos"

        AuthzSVNAccessFile "/var/svn/conf/authz.conf"

        AuthType Basic

        AuthName "SVN Repository"

        AuthUserFile "/var/svn/conf/svnusers.conf

        Require valid-user

    </Location>

</VirtualHost>

Humm....I dont think it can be done.

 

What you want is:

www.example.org/    - to be password (htaccess) protected

www.example.org/test/  - not to be password protected.

 

So far as Im aware you cant get the above working. I could be wrong however.

 

Can you not use another virtualhost for managing/accessing your php scripts.

You could have www.svn.example.org
