HTTP Digest Authentication is provided by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code>. This module should usually be combined with at least one authentication module such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code> and one authorization module such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_user.html">mod_authz_user</a></code>.</p> </div> <div id="quickview"><h3 class="directives">Directives</h3> <ul id="toc"> <li><img alt="" src="../images/down.gif" /> <a href="#authbasicauthoritative">AuthBasicAuthoritative</a></li> <li><img alt="" src="../images/down.gif" /> <a href="#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></li> </ul> <h3>See also</h3> <ul class="seealso"> <li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#authname">AuthName</a></code></li> <li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#authtype">AuthType</a></code></li> <li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#require">Require</a></code></li> <li><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#satisfy">Satisfy</a></code></li> <li><a href="../howto/auth.html">Authentication howto</a></li> </ul></div> <div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> <div class="directive-section"><h2><a name="AuthBasicAuthoritative" id="AuthBasicAuthoritative">AuthBasicAuthoritative</a> <a name="authbasicauthoritative" id="authbasicauthoritative">Directive</a></h2> <table class="directive"> <tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Description">Description:</a></th><td>Sets whether authorization and authentication are passed to lower level modules</td></tr> <tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Syntax">Syntax:</a></th><td><code>AuthBasicAuthoritative On|Off</code></td></tr> <tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Default">Default:</a></th><td><code>AuthBasicAuthoritative On</code></td></tr> <tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Context">Context:</a></th><td>directory, .htaccess</td></tr> <tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Override">Override:</a></th><td>AuthConfig</td></tr> <tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Status">Status:</a></th><td>Base</td></tr> <tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Module">Module:</a></th><td>mod_auth_basic</td></tr> </table> <p>Normally, each authorization module listed in <code class="directive"><a href="#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></code> will attempt to verify the user, and if the user is not found in any provider, access will be denied. Setting the <code class="directive">AuthBasicAuthoritative</code> directive explicitly to <code>Off</code> allows for both authentication and authorization to be passed on to other non-provider-based modules if there is <strong>no userID</strong> or <strong>rule</strong> matching the supplied userID.
