Issue

  • .htaccess file's directives does not work with Keberos Authentication.

a. These are the contents of .htaccess file.

/path/to/docroot/.htaccess

Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All

b. An excerpt from /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file.

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin root@server.example.org
        DocumentRoot /path/to/docroot/
        ServerName server.example.org
        <Directory /path/to/docroot>
               AllowOverride All
        </Directory>
        <Location />
                AuthType Kerberos
                AuthName "Kerberos Login"
                Krb5KeyTab /etc/krb5.keytab
                KrbAuthRealms REALM.EXAMPLE.ORG
                KrbServiceName HTTP/server.domain.com@REALM.EXAMPLE.ORG
                KrbMethodNegotiate On
                KrbMethodK5Passwd On
                KrbVerifyKDC off
                KrbServiceName HTTP
                require valid-user

                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
                Deny from foo.example.org
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>

As per the above configuration, it doesn't honour .htaccess file when authentication and access directives were mentioned in the section.
