titleApache 2.4 Support

You should review this page and the htaccess page thoroughly because Apache 2.4 is much more complicated than earlier versions.

Note
titleNeed AuthType and Require

You MUST supply the AuthType and Require commands at or above the "level" of the content you want to protect in the document tree, or the module won't run. You CANNOT rely solely on the <RequestMapper> because of Apache's internal design.

One of the "quirks" (I would say "bugs") in Apache is that it requires a complicated set of inter-related general commands to be in place in order for an "auth" module to actually "see" a request. Just because you load the module doesn't mean Apache will ever call on it to do any work. This can make things confusing; if you see Apache just serving up content and the SP seems to be ignoring the requests, the lack of these commands in place is is usually the problem.
