NAME

Apache::AuthzUserDir - mod_perl UserDir authorization module

SYNOPSIS

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
PerlAuthzHandler Apache::AuthzUserDir

# This is the standard authentication stuff.
# Any can be used, but basic .htpasswd authentication
# is shown for simplicity.
AuthName "Foo Bar Authentication"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/.htpasswd-userdirs
# This tells apache to only let in users whose
# http login name matches the * in /home/*/public_html
require valid-user

</Directory>

DESCRIPTION

Apache::AuthzUserDir is designed to work with mod_perl and Apache's mod_userdir such that a single systemwide <Directory> block and .htpasswd file can be used to allow authenticated users only into their own UserDir (typically, public_html) directories.

This is especially useful with mod_dav and mod_ssl running on an alternate port for users to upload to their public webspace.
