Summary

Alternatively Require valid-user can be used to grant access to all successfully authenticated users.

Directives

AuthzUserAuthoritative

AuthzUserAuthoritative Directive

Description:	Sets whether authorization will be passed on to lower level modules
Syntax:	`AuthzUserAuthoritative On\|Off`
Default:	`AuthzUserAuthoritative On`
Context:	directory, .htaccess
Override:	AuthConfig
Status:	Base
Module:	mod_authz_user

Setting the AuthzUserAuthoritative directive explicitly to Off allows for user authorization to be passed on to lower level modules (as defined in the modules.c files) if there is no user matching the supplied userID.

By default, control is not passed on and an unknown user will result in an Authentication Required reply. Not setting it to Off thus keeps the system secure and forces an NCSA compliant behaviour.
