Apache Module mod_authn_default
Summary
This module is designed to be the fallback module, if you don't have configured an authentication module like mod_auth_basic
. It simply rejects any credentials supplied by the user.
AuthDefaultAuthoritative Directive
Setting the AuthDefaultAuthoritative
directive explicitly to Off
allows for authentication to be passed on to lower level modules (as defined in the modules.c
files).
Note
Normally there are no lower level modules, since mod_authn_default
is defined to be already on a very low level. Therefore you should leave the value of AuthDefaultAuthoritative
as default (On
).
