Wildcard

Hi Richard,

I tried the DirectoryMatch already: still does not work
Do you think the problem is related to Windows?

My folder structure looks like this:

..... htdocs
Web
Web_A/released
Web_A/working
Web_B/released
Web_B/working

So I want to secure only the working directories.

<DirectoryMatch "/Web/*/working/">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None

Deny from all
allow from x.x.x.x
AuthName "Modeller access required"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "C:/Programme/Apache Group/Apache2/users/.users"
AuthGroupFile "C:/Programme/Apache Group/Apache2/users/groups"
require group modeller
require valid-user

Satisfy any

</DirectoryMatch>

The following works fine, but I would need to apply this to every directory
;-(

<Directory "C:/Programme/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/Web/Web_A/working/">
......

Best regards,

Dirk

You are missing a fullstop in there, this is a regular expression so * isn't a
wildcard, it's a quantifier. Try:
<DirectoryMatch "/Web/.*/working/">

Sorry, but it still does not work somehow No username/password dialog
shows up,
if I type in <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://hostname/Web/Web_A/working/" target="_blank">http://hostname/Web/Web_A/working/</a>

Can u think of something else that may cause the problem?

Greetings,

Dirk

Works fine on mine. You may want to check the case of all your directory names,
can't think of anything else.
