I would like to have a "Require group" depending on the URL.
The content is handled by a cgi-script so I cannot use .htaccess files...

domain.tld/dirname -> Require group dirname
domain.tld/dirname/subdir(s) -> Require group dirname
domain.tld/seconddir -> Require group seconddir
domain.tld/seconddir/subdir(s) -> Require group seconddir
...

Is that possible?
Can I get I variable from a "LocationMatch"?

I think you can work with Directory. Than all subdirs will have that too. Like with the .htaccess

<Directory "/Apache22/htdocs/dirname">
</Directory>

Well, currently I have this in my config:
Code:
<Location "/">
   AuthType Basic
   ...
   Deny from all
</Location>
<Location "/dirname">
   Allow from all
   Require group dirname
</Location>
<Location "/seconddir">
   Allow from all
   Require group seconddir
</Location>

But I'd prefer not to have a Location Block for every dir...

If you can't do it differently, but are lazy than you should take a look at mod_macro. It makes it realy easy so set uo such a thing and keeping the overview.

Thanks, but isn't there a way to do this automatically for each existing dir?

OK, I did RTFM and it might be possible with the env REQUEST_URI and SetEnvIf.

Don't ask me for a regex doing this. I'm not good into that Wink

From the docs it shoud... argh! I found that on the new 2.3 aka 2.4 apache...

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.3/mod/mod_authz_core.html#requiredirectives


Maybe this could work (haven't tested). Ok there is the regex missing Wink
Code:

Order Deny,Allow
Satisfy any
SetEnvIf REQUEST_URI "/api/" allow_all
Deny from all
Require valid-user
Allow from env=allow_all

I also found the manualpage, but "Require Env" checks only if the var is defined and I am using Apache 2.2

The Regex would be "^/(.+)/?", but parsing would result in "Allow from dirname"...

I need to check the group - Only members of the group "dirname" are allowed to access domain.tld/dirname

I found two links on the net. Still not sure if that is helping...

Are there so many directory you have to maintain in your apache config?

I'll probably have to stick with the config from my second post.
If the number of directories grows I'll use a script to generate the config...

Thanks for trying to help!
