Apache Reference: http_core, AuthType
AuthType
Specify HTTP Authorization Type
Syntax: AuthType A
Example: AuthType Basic
Since: Apache 1.0
This directive selects the type of HTTP user authentication for a directory. Only ``
Basic'' (HTTP Basic Authentication) and ``Digest'' (HTTP Digest Authentication) are currently implemented for type. It must be accompanied by AuthName and Require directives, plus directives such as AuthUserFile and AuthGroupFile, to actually have any effects.
