+<h3>Summary</h3>
+
+ <p>The authorization providers implemented by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_host.html">mod_authz_host</a></code> are
+ registered using the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require</a></code>
+ directive. The directive can be referenced within a
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code>,
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#files">&lt;Files&gt;</a></code>,
+ or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;Location&gt;</a></code> section
+ as well as <code><a href="core.html#accessfilename">.htaccess</a>
+ </code> files to control access to particular parts of the server.
+ Access can be controlled based on the client hostname or IP address.</p>
+
+ <p>In general, access restriction directives apply to all
+ access methods (<code>GET</code>, <code>PUT</code>,
+ <code>POST</code>, etc). This is the desired behavior in most
+ cases. However, it is possible to restrict some methods, while
+ leaving other methods unrestricted, by enclosing the directives
+ in a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#limit">&lt;Limit&gt;</a></code> section.</p>

+<h2><a name="requiredirectives" id="requiredirectives">The Require Directives</a></h2>
+
+ <p>Apache's <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require</a></code>
+ directive is used during the authorization phase to ensure that a user is allowed or
+ denied access to a resource. mod_authz_host extends the
+ authorization types with <code>ip</code>, <code>host</code>,
+ <code>forward-dns</code> and <code>local</code>.
+ Other authorization types may also be
+ used but may require that additional authorization modules be loaded.</p>
+
+ <p>These authorization providers affect which hosts can
+ access an area of the server. Access can be controlled by
+ hostname, IP Address, or IP Address range.</p>
+
+ <p>Since v2.4.8, <a href="../expr.html">expressions</a> are supported
+ within the host require directives.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="reqip" id="reqip">Require ip</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The <code>ip</code> provider allows access to the server
+ to be controlled based on the IP address of the remote client.
+ When <code>Require ip <var>ip-address</var></code> is specified,
+ then the request is allowed access if the IP address matches.</p>
+
+ <p>A full IP address:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require ip 10.1.2.3
+Require ip 192.168.1.104 192.168.1.205</pre>
+
+
+ <p>An IP address of a host allowed access</p>
+
+ <p>A partial IP address:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require ip 10.1
+Require ip 10 172.20 192.168.2</pre>
+
+ <p>The first 1 to 3 bytes of an IP address, for subnet
+ restriction.</p>
+
+ <p>A network/netmask pair:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require ip 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0</pre>
+
+ <p>A network a.b.c.d, and a netmask w.x.y.z. For more
+ fine-grained subnet restriction.</p>
+
+ <p>A network/nnn CIDR specification:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require ip 10.1.0.0/16</pre>
+
+ <p>Similar to the previous case, except the netmask consists of
+ nnn high-order 1 bits.</p>
+
+ <p>Note that the last three examples above match exactly the
+ same set of hosts.</p>
+
+ <p>IPv6 addresses and IPv6 subnets can be specified as shown
+ below:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require ip 2001:db8::a00:20ff:fea7:ccea
+Require ip 2001:db8:1:1::a
+Require ip 2001:db8:2:1::/64
+Require ip 2001:db8:3::/48</pre>
+
+
+ <p>Note: As the IP addresses are parsed on startup, expressions are
+ not evaluated at request time.</p>
+
+
+
+<h3><a name="reqhost" id="reqhost">Require host</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The <code>host</code> provider allows access to the server
+ to be controlled based on the host name of the remote client.
+ When <code>Require host <var>host-name</var></code> is specified,
+ then the request is allowed access if the host name matches.</p>
+
+ <p>A (partial) domain-name</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require host example.org
+Require host .net example.edu</pre>
+
+
+ <p>Hosts whose names match, or end in, this string are allowed
+ access. Only complete components are matched, so the above
+ example will match <code>foo.example.org</code> but it will not
+ match <code>fooexample.org</code>. This configuration will cause
+ Apache to perform a double reverse DNS lookup on the client IP
+ address, regardless of the setting of the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#hostnamelookups">HostnameLookups</a></code> directive. It will do
+ a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address to find the associated
+ hostname, and then do a forward lookup on the hostname to assure
+ that it matches the original IP address. Only if the forward
+ and reverse DNS are consistent and the hostname matches will
+ access be allowed.</p>
+
+
+
+<h3><a name="reqfwddns" id="reqfwddns">Require forward-dns</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The <code>forward-dns</code> provider allows access to the server
+ to be controlled based on simple host names. When
+ <code>Require forward-dns <var>host-name</var></code> is specified,
+ all IP addresses corresponding to <code><var>host-name</var></code>
+ are allowed access.</p>
+
+ <p>In contrast to the <code>host</code> provider, this provider does not
+ rely on reverse DNS lookups: it simply queries the DNS for the host name
+ and allows a client if its IP matches. As a consequence, it will only
+ work with complete host names that can be resolved in DNS, not partial domain names.
+ However, as the reverse DNS is not used, and DNS lookups occur at request processing
+ time (instead of startup), it will work with clients which use a dynamic DNS service.</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require forward-dns dynamic.example.org</pre>
+
+
+ <p>A client the IP of which is resolved from the name
+ <code>dynamic.example.org</code> will be granted access.</p>
+
+ <p>The <code>forward-dns</code> provider was added in 2.4.19.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="reqlocal" id="reqlocal">Require local</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The <code>local</code> provider allows access to the server if any
+ of the following conditions is true:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>the client address matches 127.0.0.0/8</li>
+ <li>the client address is ::1</li>
+ <li>both the client and the server address of the connection are
+ the same</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>This allows a convenient way to match connections that originate from
+ the local host:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require local</pre>
+
+
+
+
+<h3><a name="proxy" id="proxy">Security Note</a></h3>
+
+ <p>If you are proxying content to your server, you need to be aware
+ that the client address will be the address of your proxy server,
+ not the address of the client, and so using the <code>Require</code>
+ directive in this context may not do what you mean. See
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_remoteip.html">mod_remoteip</a></code> for one possible solution to this
+ problem.</p>
