| Description: | Authorization fallback module |
|---|---|
| Status: | Base |
| Module Identifier: | authz_default_module |
| Source File: | mod_authz_default.c |
| Compatibility: | Available in Apache 2.1 and later |
This module is designed to be the fallback module, if you don't
have configured an authorization module like
mod_authz_user or mod_authz_groupfile.
It simply rejects any authorization request.
| Description: | Sets whether authorization is passed to lower level modules |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | AuthzDefaultAuthoritative On|Off |
| Default: | AuthzDefaultAuthoritative On |
| Context: | directory, .htaccess |
| Override: | AuthConfig |
| Status: | Base |
| Module: | mod_authz_default |
Setting the AuthzDefaultAuthoritative directive
explicitly to Off allows for authorization to be passed on
to lower level modules (as defined in the modules.c
files).
Normally there are no lower level modules, since
mod_authz_default is defined to be already on
a very low level. Therefore you should leave the value of
AuthzDefaultAuthoritative as default
(On).
