- <p>Setting the <code class="directive">AuthzGroupFileAuthoritative</code>
- directive explicitly to <code>Off</code> allows for
- group authorization to be passed on to lower level modules (as defined
- in the <code>modules.c</code> files) if there is <strong>no
- group</strong> matching the supplied userID.</p>
-
- <p>By default, control is not passed on and an unknown group
- will result in an Authentication Required reply. Not
- setting it thus keeps the system secure and forces an NCSA
- compliant behaviour.</p>
-
- <div class="warning"><h3>Security</h3>
- <p>Do consider the implications of allowing a user to
- allow fall-through in his <code>.htaccess</code> file; and verify
- that this is really what you want; Generally it is easier to just
- secure a single <code>.htpasswd</code> file, than it is to secure
- a database which might have more access interfaces.</p>
