+<h3>Summary</h3>
+
+ <p>This module provides core authorization capabilities so that
+ authenticated users can be allowed or denied access to portions
+ of the web site. <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html">mod_authz_core</a></code> provides the
+ functionality to register various authorization providers. It is
+ usually used in conjunction with an authentication
+ provider module such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code> and an
+ authorization module such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_user.html">mod_authz_user</a></code>. It
+ also allows for advanced logic to be applied to the
+ authorization processing.</p>

+<h2><a name="requiredirectives" id="requiredirectives">The Require Directives</a></h2>
+
+ <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html">mod_authz_core</a></code> provides some generic authorization
+ providers which can be used with the
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#require">Require</a></code> directive.</p>
+
+ <h3><a name="reqenv" id="reqenv">Require env</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The <code>env</code> provider allows access to the server
+ to be controlled based on the existence of an <a href="../env.html">environment variable</a>. When <code>Require
+ env <var>env-variable</var></code> is specified, then the request is
+ allowed access if the environment variable <var>env-variable</var>
+ exists. The server provides the ability to set environment
+ variables in a flexible way based on characteristics of the client
+ request using the directives provided by
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_setenvif.html">mod_setenvif</a></code>. Therefore, this directive can be
+ used to allow access based on such factors as the clients
+ <code>User-Agent</code> (browser type), <code>Referer</code>, or
+ other HTTP request header fields.</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">SetEnvIf User-Agent "^KnockKnock/2\.0" let_me_in
+&lt;Directory "/docroot"&gt;
+ Require env let_me_in
+&lt;/Directory&gt;</pre>
+
+
+ <p>In this case, browsers with a user-agent string beginning
+ with <code>KnockKnock/2.0</code> will be allowed access, and all
+ others will be denied.</p>
+
+ <p>When the server looks up a path via an internal
+ <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#subrequest" title="see glossary">subrequest</a> such as looking
+ for a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex">DirectoryIndex</a></code>
+ or generating a directory listing with <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_autoindex.html">mod_autoindex</a></code>,
+ per-request environment variables are <em>not</em> inherited in the
+ subrequest. Additionally,
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_setenvif.html#setenvif">SetEnvIf</a></code> directives
+ are not separately evaluated in the subrequest due to the API phases
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_setenvif.html">mod_setenvif</a></code> takes action in.</p>
+
+
+
+ <h3><a name="reqall" id="reqall">Require all</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The <code>all</code> provider mimics the functionality that
+ was previously provided by the 'Allow from all' and 'Deny from all'
+ directives. This provider can take one of two arguments which are
+ 'granted' or 'denied'. The following examples will grant or deny
+ access to all requests.</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require all granted</pre>
+
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require all denied</pre>
+
+
+
+
+ <h3><a name="reqmethod" id="reqmethod">Require method</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The <code>method</code> provider allows using the HTTP method in
+ authorization decisions. The GET and HEAD methods are treated as
+ equivalent. The TRACE method is not available to this provider,
+ use <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#traceenable">TraceEnable</a></code> instead.</p>
+
+ <p>The following example will only allow GET, HEAD, POST, and OPTIONS
+ requests:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require method GET POST OPTIONS</pre>
+
+
+ <p>The following example will allow GET, HEAD, POST, and OPTIONS
+ requests without authentication, and require a valid user for all other
+ methods:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;RequireAny&gt;
+  Require method GET POST OPTIONS
+  Require valid-user
+&lt;/RequireAny&gt;</pre>
+
+
+
+
+ <h3><a name="reqexpr" id="reqexpr">Require expr</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The <code>expr</code> provider allows basing authorization
+ decisions on arbitrary expressions.</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require expr "%{TIME_HOUR} -ge 9 &amp;&amp; %{TIME_HOUR} -le 17"</pre>
+
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;RequireAll&gt;
+ Require expr "!(%{QUERY_STRING} =~ /secret/)"
+ Require expr "%{REQUEST_URI} in { '/example.cgi', '/other.cgi' }"
+&lt;/RequireAll&gt;</pre>
+
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Require expr "!(%{QUERY_STRING} =~ /secret/) &amp;&amp; %{REQUEST_URI} in { '/example.cgi', '/other.cgi' }"</pre>
+
+
+ <p>The syntax is described in the <a href="../expr.html">ap_expr</a>
+ documentation. Before httpd 2.4.16, the surrounding double-quotes MUST be
+ omitted.</p>
+
+ <p>Normally, the expression is evaluated before authentication. However, if
+ the expression returns false and references the variable
+ <code>%{REMOTE_USER}</code>, authentication will be performed and
+ the expression will be re-evaluated.</p>

+<h2><a name="authzalias" id="authzalias">Creating Authorization Provider Aliases</a></h2>
+
+ <p>Extended authorization providers can be created within the configuration
+ file and assigned an alias name. The alias providers can then be referenced
+ through the <code class="directive"><a href="#require">Require</a></code> directive
+ in the same way as a base authorization provider. Besides the ability to
+ create and alias an extended provider, it also allows the same extended
+ authorization provider to be referenced by multiple locations.

+
+ <h3><a name="example" id="example">Example</a></h3>

+ <p>When authorization is enabled, it is normally inherited by each
+ subsequent <a href="../sections.html#merging">configuration section</a>,
+ unless a different set of authorization directives is specified.
+ This is the default action, which corresponds to an explicit setting
+ of <code>AuthMerging Off</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>However, there may be circumstances in which it is desirable
+ for a configuration section's authorization to be combined with
+ that of its predecessor while configuration sections are being
+ merged. Two options are available for this case, <code>And</code>
+ and <code>Or</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>When a configuration section contains <code>AuthMerging And</code>
+ or <code>AuthMerging Or</code>,
+ its authorization logic is combined with that of the nearest
+ predecessor (according to the overall order of configuration sections)
+ which also contains authorization logic as if the two sections
+ were jointly contained within a
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#requireall">&lt;RequireAll&gt;</a></code> or
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#requireany">&lt;RequireAny&gt;</a></code>
+ directive, respectively.</p>
+
+ <div class="note">The setting of <code class="directive">AuthMerging</code> is not

+ In the following example, only users belonging to group <code>alpha</code>

+ configuration section for <code>/www/docs/ab/gamma</code>, so

+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_core.html#authname">AuthName</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_core.html#authtype">AuthType</a></code> and
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></code> or
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html#authdigestprovider">AuthDigestProvider</a></code>
+ directives, and directives such as
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html#authuserfile">AuthUserFile</a></code>
+ and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_groupfile.html#authgroupfile">AuthGroupFile</a></code> (to
+ define users and groups) in order to work correctly. Example:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">AuthType Basic
+AuthName "Restricted Resource"
+AuthBasicProvider file
+AuthUserFile "/web/users"
+AuthGroupFile "/web/groups"
+Require group admin</pre>
+
+
+ <p>Access controls which are applied in this way are effective for
+ <strong>all</strong> methods. <strong>This is what is normally
+ desired.</strong> If you wish to apply access controls only to
+ specific methods, while leaving other methods unprotected, then
+ place the <code class="directive">Require</code> statement into a
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#limit">&lt;Limit&gt;</a></code>
+ section.</p>
+
+ <p>The result of the <code class="directive">Require</code> directive
+ may be negated through the use of the
+ <code>not</code> option. As with the other negated authorization
+ directive <code class="directive">&lt;RequireNone&gt;</code>,
+ when the <code class="directive">Require</code> directive is negated it can
+ only fail or return a neutral result, and therefore may never
+ independently authorize a request.</p>
+
+ <p>In the following example, all users in the <code>alpha</code>
+ and <code>beta</code> groups are authorized, except for those who
+ are also in the <code>reject</code> group.</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Directory "/www/docs"&gt;
+ &lt;RequireAll&gt;
+ Require group alpha beta
+ Require not group reject
+ &lt;/RequireAll&gt;
+&lt;/Directory&gt;</pre>
+
+
+ <p>When multiple <code class="directive">Require</code> directives are
+ used in a single
+ <a href="../sections.html#merging">configuration section</a>
+ and are not contained in another authorization directive like
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#requireall">&lt;RequireAll&gt;</a></code>,
+ they are implicitly contained within a
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#requireany">&lt;RequireAny&gt;</a></code>
+ directive. Thus the first one to authorize a user authorizes the
+ entire request, and subsequent <code class="directive">Require</code> directives
+ are ignored.</p>
+
+ <div class="warning"><h3>Security Warning</h3>
+ <p>Exercise caution when setting authorization directives in
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">Location</a></code> sections
+ that overlap with content served out of the filesystem.
+ By default, these <a href="../sections.html#merging">configuration sections</a> overwrite authorization configuration
+ in <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">Directory</a></code>,
+ and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#files">Files</a></code> sections.</p>
+ <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="#authmerging">AuthMerging</a></code> directive
+ can be used to control how authorization configuration sections are
+ merged.</p>
