Hi there.

I'm wondering how I can turn of the http-authorization for sub-directories.

My workstation runs an https site I use for personal things. (like my mail) Because I don't anyone else to look at it, I've enabled an htpasswd file on the website root directory. But is there any way I can disable this authorization for certain sub-directories, if I want to show something to a friend of mine?

How do you have authorization set up? Through the main server config file?

Read up on this if you haven't already.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/cor...#allowoverride

My authorization is working.. that is not the problem here. I've used the Auth... directives to place enable an htpasswd file, and this part is working. (and indeed, to allow these commands in an .htaccess file, you need the AllowOverride; I know about this)

My question is a little different. If I've enabled an password on the website root folder, how can I disable it for a certain sub folder? ..something like "AuthType None" Right now, I've solved my problem temporary by playing with the require user directives, and allowing another user in the subfolder.

use a second container <></> to modify as you favourite security setting.

Put something like this in your Apache config file:

<Directory "/my/sub/folder">
Allow from all
Satisfy Any
</Directory>
