+
+ <p>Apache's <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require</a></code>
+ directives are used during the authorization phase to ensure that
+ a user is allowed to access a resource. mod_authz_dbm extends the
+ authorization types with <code>dbm-group</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>Since v2.4.8, <a href="../expr.html">expressions</a> are supported
+ within the DBM require directives.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="reqgroup" id="reqgroup">Require dbm-group</a></h3>
+
+ <p>This directive specifies group membership that is required for the
+ user to gain access.</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require dbm-group admin</pre>
+
+
+
+
+<h3><a name="reqfilegroup" id="reqfilegroup">Require dbm-file-group</a></h3>
+
+ <p>When this directive is specified, the user must be a member of the group
+ assigned to the file being accessed.</p>

- <p>Setting the <code class="directive">AuthzDBMAuthoritative</code>
- directive explicitly to <code>Off</code> allows group authorization
- to be passed on to lower level modules (as defined in the
- <code>modules.c</code> file) if there is no group found
- for the the supplied userID. If there are any groups
- specified, the usual checks will be applied and a failure will
- give an Authentication Required reply.</p>
-
- <p>So if a userID appears in the database of more than one module;
- or if a valid <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#require">Require</a></code>
- directive applies to more than one module; then the first module
- will verify the credentials; and no access is passed on;
- regardless of the <code class="directive">AuthAuthoritative</code> setting.</p>
-
- <p>A common use for this is in conjunction with one of the
- auth providers; such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbm.html">mod_authn_dbm</a></code> or
- <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code>. Whereas this DBM module supplies
- the bulk of the user credential checking; a few (administrator) related
- accesses fall through to a lower level with a well protected
- <code>.htpasswd</code> file.</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 .htaccess 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>
