Require user $var

Hello.

I have directories:
/var/www/html/project/mary
/var/www/html/project/joe
/var/www/html/project/john
/var/www/html/project/fred
..
..

How do I accomplish something like:

AuthName "project"
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider dbm
AuthDBMUserFile whatever
Require user $user


rather than having a separate section for each user in
httpd.conf ?

Thanks.

The easy tool for this kind of thing is mod_macro:

If third-party modules are a problem (e.g. due to a
troublesome boss), there's a dirty approach. Create a
wildcarded section allowing any user with a project directory.
Then use a RewriteCond to capture username and a
rewriterule to send them to their own space.

Dammit, just overlooked the really easy ...

Require file-owner

which should be ideal since you don't have
multiple authn files.

This isn't documented syntax; is it a 2.3 thing?

Ne, it's a mod_authz_owner thing:
