+Tag: apache2-deprecated-auth-config
+Severity: warning
+Check: apache2
+Explanation: The package is using some of the deprecated authentication configuration
+ directives Order, Satisfy, Allow, Deny, <Limit> or <LimitExcept>
+ .
+ These do not integrate well with the new authorization scheme of Apache
+ 2.4 and, in the case of <Limit> and <LimitExcept> have confusing
+ semantics. The configuration directives should be replaced with a suitable
+ combination of <RequireAll>, <RequireAny>, Require all, Require local,
+ Require ip, and Require method.
+ .
+ Alternatively, the offending lines can be wrapped between
+ <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c> ... </IfModule> or
+ <IfVersion < 2.3> ... </IfVersion> directives.
