Hi,

i would like to know how to redirect a user to other directory example:
Alias /mydata "D:\myfolder"
<Directory "D:\myfolder">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile "C:\apache\conf\passwords"
Require user user1
Require user user2
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
I want user2 to be redirect to other directory like test data if he passed the authentication

Code:

Redirect permanent /path/to/file.htm


I'm not sure which rule takes first effect. Try out Wink

If you only want to re-direct user2, but not user1 or any other user - you may need to use mod_rewrite to change the URI based on the user name.

Maybe mod_rewrite rules like this will work for you:
Code:
        Alias /testdata  "D:/test_data"
        RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} user2
        RewriteRule /?(.*) /testdata/$1    [L]

Make sure that the directory which the /testdata URI is aliased to has a <Directory> block which:
    * allows access from any host (Allow from all)
    * is password-protected to only allow user2 (Require user user2)
Hope this helps,

p.s. Your example shows backslashes (\) in the directory names. You should always use forward slashes (/) in httpd.conf, even on Windows.
