public directory on SSL authenticated server

deesto · 10-26-2009, 10:58 AM

I'm using SSL and Kerberos to authenticate and authorize users at the root directory of an Apache virtual host. I would like to specify a single directory that should still run through SSL but should not require any authentication.

I've tried two different sets of directives I've found, and I've placed these before the root directory config, but both of them still seem to miss requests coming in for the directory and require login:

Code:

<Directory /publicdir>
  AuthType None
  Require all granted
</Directory>

Code:

<Directory /publicdir>
  Satisfy any
  Allow from all
</Directory>

The second one is the right one. I have a similar setup also it's with sql.
See if it makes a diffrence if you put the "Satisfy Any" at the end of the <Directory> directive. I got something on my mind that the order matters. Also to be absolute sure just add "Order Allow,Deny" in the mix

Heres the link to the apache manual
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#satisfy

Hope That Helps
