Perhaps I just dont know enough about apache presently and need to<br>
read some but here is a sanitized webdav directory config:<br>
<br>
<Location "/userid"><br>
#AllowOverride None<br>
Options -Includes +Indexes<br>
#Order allow,deny<br>
#Allow from all<br>
Order Deny,Allow<br>
Deny from all<br>
AuthBasicProvider ldap<br>
AuthName "pilot project"<br>
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off<br>
AuthLDAPURL ldap://url_here<br>
AuthType Basic<br>
Require user usrid<br>
satisfy any<br>
<br>
Dav on<br>
<br>
</Location><br>
<br>
While this does work maintaining 2-400 of these chunks is something I<br>
would like to dodge if possble.<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
