Protection directive defines a protection
setup and associates a name with it:
Protection prot-name {
AuthType Basic
ServerId Test-Server
PasswdFile /where/ever/passwd
GroupFile /where/ever/group
UserId someuser
GroupId somegroup
GET-Mask list, of, users, and, groups
POST-Mask list, of, users, and, groups
PUT-Mask list, of, users, and, groups
}
The content between the curly braces is the same as used to go
the the protection setup file. What's new is the possibility to
specify the
UserId and
GroupId for
the clild process when serving the request in protected mode.
This is not possible with external files for security reasons
[it is not possible inside the external file, but it
is not possible if the ids are set when calling that file; see
doc for more details].
